RAID 0+1 Data Recovery and Repair Services

RAID 0+1 is a fairly common type of combined or "nested" RAID that provides fast operation with built-in redundancy. While there are some disadvantages to RAID 0+1, it offers ideal functionality for storage servers, web servers and other types of high-performance systems. However, RAID 0+1 is by no means perfect, and a sudden controller failure or other event can prevent users from accessing data.



At Secure Data Recovery Services, we specialize in RAID technology. We offer services for all nested RAID configurations including RAID 0+1, and by treating each RAID as a priority, we have developed a reputation for our professionalism and attention to detail.

Advantages of our RAID 0+1 data recovery services include:

Characteristics of RAID 0+1 Arrays

As its name implies, the RAID 0+1 configuration level combines the speed of RAID 0 with the fault tolerance of RAID 1. The segments of the system are individual RAID 0 arrays, mirrored to provide redundancy. If a single hard drive fails, the RAID will not lose data, but will effectively operate with the fault tolerance of a RAID 0 until the damaged drive is replaced.

RAID 0+1 is not to be confused with RAID 1+0, which is a stripe of mirrors. RAID 0+1 is a mirror of stripes. It provides similar redundancy to a RAID 5 but with potentially faster performance. Benchmarks vary by implementation, but because RAID 0 has a relatively high overhead and limited flexibility, it is typically used for high-performance applications.


Common data loss scenarios for RAID 0+1 systems include:

• Multiple Hard Drive Failures
• RAID Controller Card Failure
• File Corruption
• Accidental Deletion, Formatting or Partitioning
• Software and Operating System Errors
• Virus Damage
• Electronic Damage

A RAID 0+1 can lose data suddenly, and the cause of data loss is not always immediately apparent. At Secure Data Recovery Services, we offer risk-free diagnostics to help our customers plan out effective disaster recovery strategies.

Our engineers can perform a series of tests to determine the extent of your RAID 0+1's mechanical and logical damage. We then provide a data recovery report with a price quote and turnaround estimate, and after receiving your approval, we begin recovering data from your array. Secure Data Recovery Services' RAID experts recover most cases in 2-5 days, and our 24/7/365 emergency services provide an even faster turnaround.

Advanced RAID Data Recovery Technology

By regularly investing in RAID data recovery technology, we have established high recovery rates for all nested RAID systems. We regularly develop and implement proprietary data recovery technologies to provide consistently safe services for our clients.

Secure Data Recovery Services operates a fully certified Class 10 ISO 4 Cleanroom. This contaminant-free environment allows our RAID recovery engineers to work safely with exposed actuator heads, platters and other hard drive components. All data recovery providers need to treat mechanically damaged media in a Certified Cleanroom to prevent contamination damage, but Secure Data Recovery Services is currently the only provider with a Class 10 ISO 4 Certification.

We also have tools that allow our engineers to work with firmware and electronics to restore damaged hard drives to an operable condition. After performing physical repairs, we make full clones of every RAID member to prevent any chance of in-lab media damage.

Secure Data Recovery Services maintains an extensive set of IT security credentials. We were the first data recovery provider to earn certification under SSAE 16 Type II attestation standards, and unlike many of our competitors, we post our attestation and audit reports online for the benefit of our customers.

Our security credentials include:

• HIPAA and FERPA Compliance
• PCI Security Certification
• GSA Contractor Certification
• SAS 70 Certification
• SSAE 16 Type II Certification
• Green Business Certification

As a member of the General Services Administration's contractor schedules, we offer fast, flexible services for our government clients at discounted rates. Contact our customer service team for our GSA number or visit our certifications page to view auditor's comments, attestation reports and more.

Repair Services for RAID 0+1 Systems

In addition to data recovery, we offer dedicated repair services for RAID 0+1 systems. We can restore your system to a functional condition, performing necessary adjustments and repairs to ensure fast access speeds after serious hardware failures. By repairing your array while performing data recovery services, Secure Data Recovery Services can help you avoid major productivity losses after a data loss event.

We are also one of the only data recovery providers with true 24/7/365 emergency services. With an average turnaround of less than 48 hours, our emergency services are the best available option for limiting downtime. Call our customer service team for more information.

Setting Up a Free RAID Evaluation

Secure Data Recovery Services operates an extended network of offices across the United States. We offer risk-free diagnostics for all devices using nested RAID levels including RAID 0+1 systems.

Our free evaluations provide:

• A Risk-Free Price Quote
• An Accurate Turnaround Estimate
• Estimated Chances of a Successful Recovery
• A RAID Failure Analysis

Our evaluations are completely risk-free, and you are never under any obligation to contract our services after receiving our RAID data recovery report.

If you cannot access important files on a RAID 0+1, turn the system off immediately. Do not attempt to recover your own files and do not make changes to the configuration to try to read data from the damaged RAID members. Contact Secure Data Recovery Services as soon as possible to schedule free diagnostics at one of our facilities.
