Common Promise RAID Failures We Recover
Promise RAID systems such as Pegasus and VTrak are known for their reliability, yet failures can still occur and lead to serious data loss. Our specialists handle every major Promise RAID issue, including:
- Multiple drive failures within the same RAID group
- Controller faults or firmware corruption
- Failed or incomplete RAID rebuilds
- Accidental array reconfiguration or volume deletion
- File system corruption or unreadable partitions
- Power loss or hardware component failure
When these issues arise, your Promise array may appear degraded, offline or fail to mount altogether. Our engineers safely reconstruct the RAID and restore data from any affected configuration with precision and care.
Our Expertise in Promise RAID Recovery
We recover data from all Promise RAID systems used across enterprise storage, media production and surveillance environments. Our engineers understand the architecture and firmware of every major Promise product line, ensuring a secure and precise recovery process.
Our expertise covers:
Systems
Promise Pegasus, VTrak, Vess and SuperTrak models
RAID Configurations
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 arrays
Environments
macOS, Windows Server, Linux, VMware and Hyper-V
Data types
Volumes, LUNs, snapshots and logical drives
Even if your Promise array fails to mount or displays missing volumes, our specialists can perform a virtual rebuild to restore complete data access with precision and reliability.
What to Avoid After a Promise RAID Failure
Taking the wrong steps following a Promise RAID failure can significantly reduce the chances of a successful recovery. To safeguard your data, avoid the following actions until a professional evaluation has been completed:
- Do not attempt to rebuild or reinitialise the array through Promise Utility or WebPAM.
- Avoid swapping or reseating drives to test connectivity.
- Do not run file system repair tools on degraded or offline volumes.
- Refrain from updating firmware or importing configurations from another system.
- Do not power-cycle the enclosure repeatedly in an attempt to make it mount.
By avoiding these actions, you help maintain the array’s integrity and ensure the highest likelihood of successful data recovery.
