Our Enterprise-Class Data Recovery Services

Enterprise-class hard drives (FC, SAS, SCSI, and near-line SATA) are typically used in RAID-based systems. Therefore, recovering data from these drives is just one of the many steps in a RAID recovery process. Because enterprise-class hard drives differ in design from desktop hard drives, they require a different set of skills, techniques, and even equipment during the data recovery process.
Enterprise-class hard drives (sometimes referred to as "RAID-grade") are often required to operate 7x24 hours without interruption. Therefore, they must provide the highest possible performance while ensuring reliability, and they must also operate properly in demanding environments. Due to their usage nature, maximizing capacity is not always the primary goal.

Enterprise Data Loss: Causes and Safe Recovery

Both desktop and laptop hard drives have internal error recovery algorithms that may take a minute or more to recover and remap data that the hard drive has difficulty reading. Many RAID controllers (depending on the controller) will drop an unresponsive drive after approximately 8 seconds. This can cause an array to drop a perfectly good drive because it did not have enough time to complete its internal error recovery procedure. When this happens, it can leave the rest of the array in a fragile state.

To prevent this issue, many enterprise-class hard drives typically limit this error recovery time to about 7-8 seconds. After that, if the drive fails to recover from the error, it will issue an error message to the RAID card and postpone error recovery to a later time. This will let the RAID card decide how to handle the recovery problem. Special tools designed for data recovery can essentially "force" these drives to continue read attempts in order to extract data. Enterprise hard drive recovery needs to be performed by an experienced data recovery company. Regardless of whether the cause of data loss is accidental, mechanical failure, or environment-related damage, our team of recovery engineers has the capability and technology to solve the problem.
