RAID Recovery Forthside (7310)
Last Updated:
A degraded array is one wrong click from a disaster: most RAID data loss happens during the rebuild, not the original failure. For Forthside (7310) arrays: stop, label the drives, and call for a free phone assessment.
Stop — do not run recovery software
It can overwrite the files you want back. Get a free Forthside phone assessment first.
The rebuild trap
When one drive fails, its survivors are old too — and a rebuild is the hardest workout of their lives. If a second drive falters mid-rebuild, a recoverable situation becomes a complex one. The professional route images every member disk write-protected first, then reconstructs the array virtually, in software, where nothing can be made worse.
What we need from you
The drives (labelled by bay if possible), the controller or NAS unit if convenient, and what you know: RAID level, rough age, what happened. Do not reinstall the OS, do not run repair utilities, do not re-order disks. Photograph everything before pulling drives — your camera is a recovery tool.
How it works
- Free phone assessment — a technician triages it honestly, in minutes.
- Get it to us — drop in, we collect around Forthside, or mail it in via Australia Post.
- Inspection ($189 per drive) — then you receive a full list of recoverable files and a fixed quote.
- You decide — pay for the recovery only after seeing what is recoverable.
Mail-in recovery: the post office does the driving
Plenty of Forthside customers just want to send the device in. Tell us what has happened and pay the inspection fee (from $139, depending on device and turnaround). We then email you an Australia Post label to print plus our lab address — just lodge the parcel at your nearest Australia Post outlet (you pay the postage at the counter). When it arrives we inspect it and send you a full list of the files we can recover with a fixed quote — you only pay for the recovery once you have seen what is recoverable.
