RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) systems are critical for businesses, providing speed, redundancy, and large-scale storage capacity. However, when RAID arrays fail, data recovery becomes highly complex and requires specialized expertise, tools, and deep knowledge of RAID architectures.
At RecData Malta, we provide advanced RAID data recovery services for all RAID levels and configurations, from simple RAID 0 to complex enterprise RAID 50 or 60. We support hardware RAID, software RAID, and hybrid NAS/Server RAID systems.
We operate with a No Data, No Fee policy, and all pickups, diagnostics, and deliveries across Malta and Gozo are completely free.
For highly complex RAID cases, we collaborate with top laboratories in Europe and internationally (Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg). For critical recoveries, drives may be processed in a UK ISO-certified cleanroom, staffed by engineers specialized in RAID reconstruction and parity recovery.
Types of RAID We Recover
RAID 0 (Striping)
Provides performance but no redundancy. If one disk fails, the entire array becomes unreadable.
- Common issues: single disk failure, striped volume corruption, failed rebuilds.
- Our engineers reconstruct RAID parameters (block size, disk order, offsets) and restore missing data stripes.
RAID 1 (Mirroring)
Provides redundancy, but simultaneous disk failures or controller errors can make data inaccessible.
- Typical cases: failed rebuilds, simultaneous disk degradation, accidental array reinitialization.
- We clone each disk individually and reconstruct the mirror set.
RAID 5 (Striping with Parity)
Popular for balancing performance and redundancy, but highly vulnerable to multiple failures.
- Common issues: two or more disk failures, parity corruption, firmware/controller errors.
- Our tools rebuild parity and reconstruct missing data blocks.
RAID 6 (Double Parity)
Protects against two simultaneous disk failures, but rebuild processes are risky.
- Issues: triple disk failure, controller corruption, rebuild inconsistencies.
- Our team restores data by carefully reconstructing parity across the array.
RAID 10 (1+0)
Combines mirroring and striping.
- Issues: multiple disk failures in mirrored pairs, accidental formatting, degraded array rebuilds.
- Recovery requires a precise balance between stripe reconstruction and mirror restoration.
RAID 50 & RAID 60
Enterprise-level RAID with advanced parity and striping.
- Issues: simultaneous disk failure across sub-arrays, parity misalignment, file system corruption.
- RecData engineers use advanced RAID reconstruction algorithms to recover enterprise-level RAID failures.
Common Causes of RAID Failure
- Disk hardware failure (bad sectors, head crashes, mechanical issues)
- RAID controller failure or firmware corruption
- Power surge or electrical damage
- Failed rebuild processes overwriting data
- Accidental reinitialization or configuration loss
- File system corruption (NTFS, ext4, XFS, ReFS, ZFS, etc.)
- Multiple drive failures in parity-based RAID (5, 6, 50, 60)
- Human error or accidental deletions
Recovery Techniques
- Disk imaging & cloning of all drives before recovery attempts
- RAID parameter analysis (block size, order, parity rotation, offsets)
- Parity reconstruction for RAID 5/6/50/60 arrays
- Virtual RAID rebuilding without risking original drives
- File system repair (NTFS, APFS, ext4, ZFS, VMFS, XFS, etc.)
- Firmware repair for RAID controllers (Dell PERC, HP SmartArray, LSI, Adaptec, Areca, etc.)

FAQs – RAID Recovery in Malta
Can you recover data from RAID 0?
Yes, we reconstruct RAID 0 arrays by analyzing disk order and stripe size, even if one or more drives fail.
Do you recover RAID 5 arrays with multiple disk failures?
Yes, we specialize in RAID 5 recovery, even in cases of double disk failure or parity corruption.
Can you recover RAID 6 or RAID 10 arrays?
Absolutely. Our engineers handle complex RAID levels including RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60.
Do you work with Dell, HP, IBM, and Lenovo RAID servers?
Yes, we support all enterprise RAID controllers and storage systems.
