Welcome to Aberdeen Data Recovery, Scotland’s No.1 specialist in RAID 1 data recovery. With over 25 years of experience, our expert RAID engineers have successfully recovered data from thousands of mirrored array systems, working with clients ranging from home users and small businesses to global enterprises and public sector organisations.

🛠️ Our RAID 1 Recovery Services

RAID 1 (mirroring) is designed for redundancy, but even mirrored disks can fail—especially when multiple drive errors, faulty rebuilds, or controller issues occur. We provide comprehensive RAID 1 recovery services across:

  • 2-disk RAID 1 setups

  • RAID 1 arrays within larger hybrid RAID systems

  • NAS & enterprise storage units

  • Software and hardware-based RAID 1

  • RAID 1+0 (10) hybrid systems

Our engineers can recover data from RAID systems across all industries and environments, including:

  • Home backup solutions

  • Office and SME file servers

  • Enterprise-class NAS and SAN storage

  • Government & education sectors

🖥️ Supported RAID Brands and Devices

We work with all major RAID hardware manufacturers and NAS vendors, including:

  • Dell EMC, HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise), IBM

  • Synology, QNAP, NetApp, Drobo, Buffalo, Netgear, Thecus

  • Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba, Samsung, Hitachi (HGST)

  • Lenovo, ASUS, Intel, Promise Technology, LaCie, Areca, Adaptec

We support all drive types within RAID 1 arrays, including:

  • SATA, SAS, SCSI, NVMe, PCIe, M.2, U.2 interfaces

  • 3.5″ desktop drives and 2.5″ enterprise disks

  • HDDs and SSDs

⚠️ Top 25 RAID 1 Failures We Recover From – And How We Fix Them

Despite the redundancy offered by RAID 1, many issues can lead to data loss. Here are the 25 most common problems we recover from—and how we solve them:

1. Multiple Drive Failures

Fix: Stabilise both disks; image each individually and rebuild array using forensic tools.

2. RAID Controller Failure

Fix: Bypass faulty controller; reconstruct the array manually from disk images.

3. Rebuild Failure or Incomplete Rebuild

Fix: Identify corruption points; recover from the last valid mirror state.

4. Logical Corruption

Fix: Repair damaged file systems (NTFS, EXT4, HFS+, etc.) and extract files.

5. Disk Reordering

Fix: Re-establish correct mirror configuration by analysing metadata and disk signatures.

6. Firmware Bugs

Fix: Reflash firmware using safe vendor-specific techniques and access logical volume.

7. Software RAID Misconfiguration

Fix: Use Linux/Windows RAID assembly commands to rebuild virtual RAID 1 mirrors.

8. Disk Removal or Hot-Swap Errors

Fix: Clone and reintegrate affected disk(s) into virtual mirror reconstruction.

9. Bad Sectors on One or Both Drives

Fix: Image disks with sector-level recovery and rebuild mirrored content.

10. Accidental Reinitialisation

Fix: Reverse initialisation by detecting lost partitions and mirror structures.

11. Deleted Files from Mirrored Volume

Fix: Use forensic tools to recover deleted files from both drives’ unallocated space.

12. Failed Drive Rebuild Attempt

Fix: Identify failed sectors during rebuild; recover from good mirror backup.

13. Electrical Damage

Fix: Repair PCB damage and stabilise drives for read access and imaging.

14. Drive Not Detected

Fix: Diagnose SATA/SAS port issues and restore drive-level recognition.

15. Slow or Inaccessible RAID Volume

Fix: Clone degraded disks and mount virtual mirror for safe recovery.

16. OS or RAID Software Crash

Fix: Access drive directly and bypass corrupted software layers.

17. Power Loss During Write

Fix: Analyse mirror write sequences and recover consistent copy.

18. Encrypted RAID 1 Set Failure

Fix: Decrypt with provided credentials and extract encrypted data from mirror image.

19. Bit Rot or Silent Data Corruption

Fix: Use checksum comparison and data integrity verification to restore valid files.

20. Operating System Cannot Mount Volume

Fix: Repair boot sector and partition table to mount file system.

21. Mirror Sync Error

Fix: Correct misaligned data blocks; verify valid mirror with time stamps.

22. RAID Management Software Failure

Fix: Manually reassemble mirror with disk signatures and array logs.

23. Deleted RAID Configuration

Fix: Recover RAID metadata from disk; rebuild virtual RAID for data extraction.

24. RAID 1 Inside RAID 10 Array

Fix: Deconstruct and recover mirror segments from multi-level array.

25. Unusual Noise or Mechanical Failure

Fix: Cleanroom head replacement and data imaging from failing disk.
