How Data Recovery Works

No black boxes. Here’s exactly what happens when you work with ACE RAID Recovery — from your first call to the day your data is back.

1

Free evaluation

Describe your situation by phone (844-223-7243) or through the Start a Case form. An engineer reviews your case — remotely via ARRM where possible — and gives you an honest answer about recoverability.

The evaluation is always free.

2

Fixed quote & approval

You receive a clear, fixed quote before any work begins. You approve the price — or you don’t. No surprise invoices.

Typical projects: $1,000–$2,500 per disk

3

Data recovery

In-lab: ship your drives (or the unit) to Dallas, Houston, or Chicago. We image every drive, rebuild the array virtually, and extract your data with proprietary tools.

Remote: our engineers connect securely via ARRM and do the same work without your hardware leaving your building.

4

Verification & return

We verify the recovered files with you — by listing, spot-checking, or mounting the data as you prefer. Then we deliver it on a new drive, via secure transfer, or any way that works for you.

The original media is returned with your recovered data.

3–15days — typical recovery
24–48hours — emergency service
Timing depends on the complexity of the case and the volume of data. We’ll give you a realistic estimate during the free evaluation.

Recovery options

Remote (ARRM)

Logical issues, RAID/volume problems, live systems — no shipping.

In-lab

Dead drives, physical damage, complex enterprise arrays. Dallas, Houston or Chicago.

Emergency

24–48 hour priority when downtime is critical.

Expedited

3–7 day priority for production systems.

What you should NOT do
  • Don’t run a RAID rebuild without a verified backup
  • Don’t run CHKDSK or fsck on a rebuilt array — in 95% of the cases we see, the rebuild went wrong and check disk makes it worse
  • Don’t take OEM support’s advice to “re-initialize” — that deletes your data
  • Don’t shuffle drives between slots or units

Do call us first: 844-223-7243. The first hour decides how much data survives.
