Drobo recovery — common questions
How much does Drobo data recovery cost?+
Drobo NAS cases are quoted per job after a free evaluation — the price depends on the model, the RAID configuration, and the failure. There's no charge for the evaluation, and you pay nothing unless we recover your data.
My Drobo volume crashed — is the data still there?+
Usually, yes. A crashed or degraded volume most often means the array or file system needs reconstructing, while the underlying data is intact. Don't reset, recreate the volume, or force a rebuild — power it down and let us evaluate it.
Should I try to rebuild the Drobo array myself?+
We'd advise against it. Rebuilding a degraded array stresses every drive and can trigger a second failure, and re-initializing can wipe the metadata needed to recover your data. Note the drive order, power it down, and send it for evaluation.
How do I send in a Drobo NAS?+
Start online for a free evaluation and we'll arrange secure shipping. We assess the unit in our cleanroom, you approve a fixed quote before any work, and you only pay on a successful recovery.
