RAID Recovery in New York

Clever and powerful remote verification before you pay anything. Trust them. Don't bother looking elsewhere! We had a challenging recovery, 3 disk SW RAID-0 (striped, no redundancy), 5 TB data. Slow failure, corrupted backup. RAID Recovery Services said "hold my beer" and sent back an encrypted single 5TB USB external drive (and originals) with the recovered data. BEST ASPECTS: You pay *nothing* (not even shipping) until you have verified the successful recovery of the data. They email a pre-paid shipping label. All you do is pack the drive(s) and send. It's a powerful marketing claim, but the obvious question is, "how do I verify my data??" That's the best part. After recovery, they mount your recovered filesystem on a virtual machine and give you remote desktop control of it. You can open and examine any file of interest. So, again, this was a little out of the ordinary in our case since these drives came out of an old Mac Pro 5,1 that was running El Capitan, so not the latest release. How much control do you have? I needed to verify some Blender files that were saved using Blender 2.83. The VM RAID Recovery Services booted our filesystem on had Blender installed, but an old version (2.77), too old to open the file. So, I opened Safari, downloaded 2.83 from Blender.org, installed it and opened the file and verified the model. That was pretty cool! Of course, I can imagine this might not be as easy if you have unique licensed applications that might be needed to verify the data recovery unless your recovered data image has those apps and licenses on it, too. I was skeptical going in, but RAID Recovery Services lived up to every claim and exceeded my expectations by a wide margin.
