Raid Arrays - Data Recovery by Cherry Systems

Failing RAID drive? Broken RAID array? You have come to the right place. Our success rate is typically above 90% and our charges are very reasonable for the effort involved. We are frequently able to recover data from drives where a head crash has physically damaged part of the platter. Our clean room environment allows us to access the sealed portions of hard drives and correct failed internal components. In most cases, the recovery process involves restructuring of the data using highly sophisticated techniques and proprietary equipment and software our engineers have developed. Our special RAID recovery tools reconstruct the data when standard RAID rebuild processes fail. We can recover data from both hardware and software RAIDs.
