Our engineers have been recovering data from all types of NAS storage for may years, and have the skills, experience and facilities to recover lost or deleted data from your failed BlackArmor drive.
Even if more than one hard drive has failed, or a RAID disk has been corrupted, they will recover lost or missing data from all types of failure; from a failed firmware update, to a RAID rebuild that failed.
Crashed BlackArmor failures:
Failed hard drive (orange or amber LED)
Corrupt file system or RAID
Cannot access the device or share
Corrupted volume
Because our engineers know and understand storage and storage problems, they know all file systems and operating systems. This means it does not matter if you are running Windows, Apple OS, Linux – all these are covered – and more.
For a reliable service from an established company with a clean reputation, you will be in good hands. You and your data will be looked after and treated with respect.
