Free Drive Evaluation
In the context of the top quality services we offer, we offer your drive's - or any other data storage device's - evaluation for FREE.
The evaluation of the damage can take 1-2 days and consists of the following stages:
- Initial estimation of the severity of the damage
- Performance of specialized diagnostics by which we determine the nature and extension of the damage
- Opening the device and checking its internal mechanical parts (if it is required)
- Market search to find the compatibile spare parts or checking the existing stock
- Finalizing the diagnostic checks and informing the client regarding the recovery possibilities, the cost and the time needed for the data recovery, based on the previous stages.
Do you have questions? We are available to answer any of your questions!
EXCEPTIONS:
The free evaluation service does not stand for drives that have been previously opened by individuals or other data recovery companies, for RAID systems to which the arrays have been changed and in general devices that have been messed with in any way.
In these cases, the costs are fixed.
Τιμοκατάλογος
Η κάθε περίπτωση είναι μοναδική.
Για να μπορέσουμε να προσδιορίσουμε με ακρίβεια το κόστος για την ανάκτηση δεδομένων, θα πρέπει να γίνουν στο μέσο διαγνωστικοί έλεγχοι.
Οι διαγνωστικοί έλεγχοι είναι ΔΩΡΕΑΝ και διαρκούν 1-2 εργάσιμες ημέρες. Με την ολοκλήρωσή τους, ενημερώνεστε γραπτώς για το κόστος, τις πιθανότητες ανάκτησης αλλά και το χρόνο που θα απαιτηθεί για να ασς παραδώσουμε δεδομένα.
Το κόστος της ανάκτησης εξαρτάται από:
- Για τους σκληρούς δίσκους: Την χωρητικότητα του δίσκου, τη γεωμετρία του και τη βλάβη. ΔΕΝ εξαρτάται από τον όγκο των δεδομένων που υπάρχουν μέσα στο δίσκο.
- Για τα USB Sticks & τις κάρτες μνήμης: Την χωρητικότητα, την πολυπλοκότητα (encryption κλπ) και τη βλάβη
- Για τα συστήματα RAID: Τον τύπο του RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 κλπ), τον αριθμό και τη χωρητικότητα των δίσκων που απαρτίζουν το array, το filesystem κλπ
- Για τους SSD δίσκους: Την χωρητικότητα και τη βλάβη

RAID arrays are complex data storage systems that require special techniques and a great know-how. Northwind's technicians have experience in even the most difficult cases with a large number of drives on the array. Τhe cost for each case is different and depends on various factors. Contact us to discuss the details of your case and find a solution to your problem.

PCI-E Drives
PCI-E drives (also known as Revo-Drives or Z-Drives) are manufactured by OCZ (which is currently the only PCI-E drives manufacturer
and their advantage is obvious:
They don't use any of the classic data transfer protocols, they take up a PCI-E slot on the computer's motherboard, and - of course - they use speeds which in many cases are up to 5 (!) times faster than that of SSDs.
In particular, these drives read data with a speed that can reach 1500 Μbps and write with speeds of 1400 Mbps, which are much faster than all other conventional drives (SATA or SSD). At the same time, they have all the advantages of SSDs (no mechanical parts etc) but also their disadvantages (NAND chips with encryption, limited number of re-writable cycles etc).
As far as data recovery is concerned, the problem is that these drives use a Sandforce Controller, which uses a 128bit AES. encryption. This means that, for the time being, these drives are non-recoverable.
The good news is, though, that Sandforce introduced a new technology, known as RAISE (Redundant Array of Independant Silicon Elements) which is something similar to hard drives' RAID arrays and it uses a parity just like RAID 5. This means that if one of the chips gets damaged, the drive will keep operating, even downgraded.
But if the damage is bigger...
Northwind's experienced technicians are investigating these drives to find a way to decrypt them in order to succeed in recovering data.
We have to stress the fact that these drives' distinctiveness is in the controller that OCZ uses. If, in the future, more manufacturers produce drives like that using other controllers the decryption could be easy or not needed at all.
