On more than 98% of cases of RAID failures we see, we recover the data. Often, we see RAID 5 sets of disks with 1 or 2 failed drives (e.g. 1 disk may have damaged heads and another may have some read errors or bad sectors). More common problems that we are accustomed to seeing are when a RAID-0 array has one failed drive, or when a RAID-1 set of disks stops working due to a problem with the RAID controller, not the actual hard drives.

Windows, Apple, Vmware, ZFX, iSCSI, LVMs, XFS, Linux – we can do it all.

For our experts, nothing is impossible.  we can fix any type of disk from any type of RAID array – SAS, SCSI, SATA, FC, SSDs – or any brand .  We love a challenge and there have been very few situations where we have not been able to recover data. Our only reason for being in business is to help you, and our only goal is to get your data back!

$800 to $2000 for simple cases. $2500 to $4000 for most of the common types of problems we see. $4000 to $10,000 for severe damage and very difficult cases. $10,000 + for extremely complex and very time-consuming cases. A recent case we worked on was from a cloud storage provider who suffered a flood, causing water damage to 14-rack mounted RAID arrays. Our expert team of data recovery engineers managed to rescue more than 120TB of data!

The cost will vary depending on the number of disks, the type of problem, how complex the RAID recover work will be, the amount of time we estimate it will take and how urgently you need the data back. We will offer you an Economy, Priority and Emergency service option. Our Emergency service is the most expensive, as we will around the clock to get the data back to you as fast as possible.

We will examine your disks for free, confirm the problem, and give you a free quote within 24 hours. We also offer an urgent RAID evaluation and quote service for $500 to get a quote in 1-2 hours’ time rather 24 hours.

Generally, as long as the data lost has not been securely erased or overwritten, in 99 % of cases, we can recover your data. With our knowledge and technology, it is very rare that lost data cannot be rescued. We are passionate about getting your data back and are the world’s best at data recovery. We know what to do and how to do it. In most cases, it is simply a matter of time before your precious data will be recovered. We will even perform repairs before rebuilding the RAID array, which is why our success rate is much higher than other data recovery companies in New Zealand. Your chances of getting your data back quickly and in perfect condition is much higher with Payam Data Recovery than any other alternative.
