RAID recovery
Failed, degraded, foreign, or missing arrays across RAID 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.
Get technician triage →RAID, server, NAS, and virtualization expertise
Recovering data from critical storage systems since 1998.
Technician-led diagnosis of failed storage systems, performed remotely when appropriate. No rebuilds or writes to source media without an approved recovery plan.
Tell us what failed, what has already been tried, and whether the system must remain onsite.

Get technician triage →Recognize the failure?
Intervene before controller automation compounds the problem.
- A virtual disk disappeared after a reboot or power event
- More than one member is failed, missing, or reporting errors
- A rebuild stalled, failed, or made the array inaccessible
- The controller shows foreign, degraded, or missing configuration
If any of these describes your system, stop further changes. ADR’s first task is to establish the present storage state and preserve the recovery options that remain.
Start emergency triage →A case-specific response
The recovery path depends on what failed—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
A failed array, unstable member, and mechanically damaged drive do not require the same response. ADR identifies what happened, what has already been attempted, and which source media remain trustworthy before recommending the path.
Path 01
Begin outside the failed controller
The server does not need to boot and the array does not need to be brought online. ADR can work from independently connected members in a controlled recovery environment.
Appropriate when: the system is inaccessible, degraded, foreign, or missing but its members can be safely examined.
Path 02
Protected imaging before reconstruction
For unstable members, read errors, interrupted rebuilds, or conditions where continued controller access may reduce the remaining recovery window.
Appropriate when: the sources should be preserved into resumable images before array reconstruction begins.
Path 03
Cleanroom or mechanical escalation
For members that cannot be safely imaged because of confirmed or suspected internal mechanical failure.
Appropriate when: physical stabilization is required before a trustworthy image can be produced.
A controlled recovery path
The failed server does not control the recovery.

Stop and document
Review symptoms and prior actions, then photograph, label, and preserve every member.

Emergency intake
Tell ADR what happened before another recovery attempt.
Start with the system, symptoms, what has already been tried, callback information, and any remote-access or custody requirements. Do not upload customer files.
Start Emergency Triage
Stop rebuilds, initialization, consistency checks, and other write operations. Tell an ADR technician what happened and how to reach you.
