RAID Recovery Cost Estimator

Select disk count, capacity, RAID type and damage type. Based on factors from DSET's 20+ years of field experience, you get your case complexity score, an estimated time range and the main items that drive cost.

How the scoring works

This tool scores RAID recovery complexity in three dimensions: (1) Structural complexity (RAID type, disk count, parity layout), (2) Damage type (logical, electronic, mechanical, multi) and (3) Urgency and donor part need. A low total (1-3 points) means a standard timeframe, a high total (8-10 points) means a process reaching multi disk cloning, virtual rebuild and chip off.

Where do these numbers come from?

• URE math in RAID 5: On 8 TB and larger disks the chance of a second disk throwing a URE during rebuild is high. See the RAID 5 recovery guide.
• SHR multi segment structure: Synology SHR differs from classic RAID 5, each segment must be extracted separately. See Synology recovery.
• Donor part stock: Sourcing the same model PCB, head stack or motor takes time for some models. Your case may need clean room work in our Hacettepe Teknokent lab.

The result is not a firm quote. The exact price is provided in writing only after a physical diagnosis. First diagnosis is free, and there is no fee if no data is recovered.
