RAID 0 Data Recovery you can trust
RAID 0 is built for speed, not safety — when one drive fails, the whole array goes down with it. Our RAID 0 recovery service repairs and images every member, then rebuilds the stripe in the right order — priced per case after a free evaluation.
About raid 0 data recovery
RAID 0 splits data into fixed-size blocks, called stripes, and writes them across two or more drives in turn. That makes reads and writes faster and pools the capacity, but there's no redundant copy of anything. Most files larger than a single stripe are spread across every drive, so if any one member fails, the array as a whole can't be read.
RAID 0 shows up in more places than people expect: performance desktops, some gaming laptops with two SSDs, and two-drive external enclosures sold as a single large drive. When the controller, enclosure board, or motherboard fails, or its settings are reset, the array can vanish even when every drive is healthy.
Recovery depends on getting a complete image of every member, including the failed one, because there's no parity to fill in a missing drive. Then the array is rebuilt virtually by determining the stripe size, the order of the drives, and where the data starts on each one. Get any of those wrong and files come out corrupted, which is why reconstruction is done on copies and verified against real file structures.
What we recover
- ✓Two-drive and multi-drive striped arrays
- ✓Two-drive external enclosures set to RAID 0
- ✓Gaming laptops and desktops with striped SSDs
- ✓Hardware, motherboard, and software RAID 0
Common failures we handle
- •One member drive failed and the array disappeared
- •Two-drive external shows as unformatted or not detected
- •BIOS or controller reset lost the array configuration
- •Drives removed or reconnected in the wrong order
Before you send it in: what not to do
- ✕Don't recreate or reinitialize the array in the BIOS or controller — it can write new metadata over the old layout.
- ✕Don't run recovery software on one member alone — a single RAID 0 member holds only fragments of most files.
- ✕Don't swap drive order or move drives between ports without labeling them — knowing the original order speeds reconstruction.
- ✕Don't keep powering a failing member to coax it back — it may be the drive that needs the most careful cleanroom work.
- ✕Don't format the array when Windows or macOS offers to — it overwrites the file system structures we use to rebuild it.
How we recover it
Free evaluation and fixed quote
We test each member drive and review the system or enclosure it came from, then give you a fixed quote to approve before work begins.
Repair and image every member
Failed drives are repaired as needed in the cleanroom and imaged sector by sector. With no redundancy, every member has to be recovered.
Determine stripe size, order, and offset
Engineers analyze the images to work out the stripe size, member order, and starting offset, using file system structures to confirm the layout.
Virtual reconstruction and extraction
The array is assembled from the images, never the original drives, and files are extracted and checked to confirm they open.
