SOS Raid Recovery — NAS & RAID Specialist Your RAID or NAS down? We recover your data.
Swiss specialist in RAID data recovery since 2006. RAID 0/1/5/6/10, NAS Synology, QNAP, Buffalo, Dell & HP servers. Free diagnosis in 3h, full payment on success.
What RAID & NAS systems do we recover?
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD — NAS Synology, QNAP, Buffalo — Dell, HP, IBM servers. All failures: degraded array, failed rebuild, dead controller.
RAID 0
RAID 0 distributes data across multiple drives with no redundancy. A single failure makes the entire array inaccessible. Our lab reconstructs the data stripes and recovers your files even when a drive has completely failed.
What is professional RAID data recovery?
RAID data recovery is the process of extracting data from a failed drive array — degraded NAS, failed rebuild, dead controller or simultaneous failure of multiple drives — by forensically reconstructing the volume parameters (RAID level, stripe size, drive order).
Since 2006, our lab in Ins, Switzerland has processed more than 11,300 storage media for SMEs, architecture firms, institutions and data centres. We work with every RAID level: RAID 0 (pure striping, no redundancy), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 5 and 6 (single and double parity), RAID 10, as well as proprietary configurations from NAS devices — Synology (Hybrid RAID), QNAP and Buffalo.
Our commitment: free diagnosis within 3 hours of receiving your media, and full payment only on successful recovery — if we fail, you pay only the attempt fee. SOS Raid Recovery is CyberSafe-certified, Switzerland's cybersecurity label, and our clients rate us 4.5/5 on Avis Vérifiés (249+ reviews).

Frequently asked questions
Our specialists answer the most common questions.
Can data be recovered from a hard drive that is making noise?
Yes, in most cases. A hard drive that clicks, scrapes, or makes abnormal noises generally indicates a mechanical failure of the read/write heads. It is essential to turn off the drive immediately to avoid damaging the platters. Our laboratory operates under ISO 5 certified laminar flow to replace the faulty components and extract your data.
Do you offer a collection service?
Yes, we have over 30 collection points in Switzerland. You can also send your media by secure mail or request a home pickup for urgent or bulky cases (servers, NAS).
Does my insurance cover data recovery?
Many Swiss insurance policies (household insurance, property insurance, liability insurance) cover data recovery costs. SOS Data Recovery is a direct partner of La Mobilière and Helvetia, and we handle the administrative procedures with your insurer. A common condition: the laboratory must be based in Switzerland — which is the case for us, in Ins.
How long does data recovery take?
The diagnosis is carried out within 3 hours of receiving your media. The recovery itself can vary from 2 to 10 working days depending on the complexity. In case of emergency, we offer a 24/7 service on request.
How much does data recovery cost?
Prices vary depending on the type of media and the severity of the failure. Diagnosis is free and without obligation. If the recovery fails, only an attempt fee is charged — 80% of the cost is only due if your data is actually recovered.
Is it possible to recover data after formatting?
Yes, formatting does not immediately erase data — it deletes the file allocation table. As long as the sectors have not been overwritten by new data, recovery is possible. Essential condition: do not write anything more to the media and entrust it to a specialist. On SSDs, the TRIM function can complicate recovery if it has been executed after formatting.
Is my data confidential?
Absolutely. We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with every client. Our premises are secure, and all recovered data is encrypted. After delivery, your original media can be destroyed upon request.
What to do in case of an emergency (clicking hard drive, critical data)?
Immediately turn off the device to prevent further damage. Do not attempt data recovery software yourself. Contact us — our emergency service is available 24/7 with immediate support.
What types of media can you handle?
We work on all types of media: hard drives (HDDs), SSDs, USB drives, SD cards, NAS (Synology, QNAP), RAID servers, smartphones, tablets, and virtual machines (VMware, Hyper-V). Regardless of the brand or file system.
