How much does it cost to recover a failed RAID array, a dead SSD, or a NAS with a bad drive? $49 diagnostic, SSD logical recovery from $349, RAID/NAS recovery from $799. No-data-no-pay: no data, no recovery fee.
Quick answer — RAID, SSD, and NAS data recovery in Canada costs more than a single hard drive because there is more hardware and complexity to work through. Expect a $49 diagnostic per device, $349–$799 for a single failed SSD (logical vs. firmware/controller), and $799–$1,499+ for a RAID array or NAS, depending on drive count and RAID level. Enterprise arrays are custom-quoted. Every tier is covered by no-data-no-pay.
A firm price only after we've seen the actual drives
Power off the NAS, server, or computer holding the SSD. Do not rebuild, reformat, or run recovery software.
Each drive is imaged individually. We identify the failure type, RAID layout, and firmware condition.
You receive a written price before any recovery work — no hourly billing, no surprise add-ons.
Stripe/parity reconstruction for RAID, controller-level work for SSD. Files delivered on a new drive or secure cloud link.
A single failed hard drive or SSD is one recovery job: image the drive, repair the file system or firmware, extract the files. A RAID array or NAS is several recovery jobs stacked together — every member drive must be imaged, then the stripe order, parity, and metadata must be reconstructed to rebuild the array logically before any file can be pulled out. That's why RAID/NAS pricing starts where single-drive mechanical pricing ends.
SSD complexity depends on where the failure sits. If the SSD is still detected and only files were deleted or the partition is corrupted, it's a straightforward logical case. If the controller has failed or the drive shows 0 bytes, we need firmware-level tools. If the controller chip itself is dead, we must read the NAND chips directly — the most advanced and expensive tier.
NAS pricing scales with bay count and RAID level. A 2-bay NAS in RAID 1 (mirrored) is the simplest case. A 4-bay or 8-bay NAS in RAID 5, 6, or 10 — especially with more than one failed drive — requires deeper parity reconstruction, which is why larger arrays and degraded arrays cost more.
RAID, SSD, and NAS recovery, priced by scenario — not by the hour
Striped or mirrored 2-drive arrays. Each drive imaged, then the array logically rebuilt.
Parity-based and nested arrays, including degraded arrays with one or more failed members.
Deleted files, formatted drive, corrupted partition — SSD still detected by the OS.
0-byte or undetected SSDs, failed controllers, and chip-level NAND reading for dead controllers.
Synology, QNAP, Buffalo, Drobo, Western Digital My Cloud, Asustor, and custom Linux/ZFS NAS builds.
16+ drive enterprise RAID and business server storage — assessed and custom-quoted.
No hourly billing. The $49 diagnostic sets the exact price before any recovery work begins.
If nothing is recovered, you only pay the diagnostic fee — never the full recovery price.

Fixed, transparent prices in Canadian dollars — the diagnostic confirms the exact figure before any work
RAID 1 (2 drives) from $799. RAID 5/6/10 (3+ drives) from $1,499. Enterprise arrays (16+ drives) custom-quoted.
Logical (detected, deleted/formatted) $349. Firmware/controller (0 bytes, undetected) $799. Chip-level NAND $1,499+.
2-bay NAS (RAID 1) from $799. 4-bay+ NAS (RAID 5/6/10) or degraded array from $1,499.
Per device. Imaging, failure classification, and a firm written quote — credited toward recovery.
| Scenario | Examples | Price (CAD) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic | Per-device assessment, failure classification, firm quote | $49 | 24–48h |
| SSD Logical Recovery | Deleted files, accidental format, corrupted partition — SSD detected by OS | $349 | 24–72h |
| RAID 1 / 2-Bay NAS POPULAR | Mirrored array, both drives imaged individually before rebuild | $799+ | 3–10 days |
| SSD Firmware / Controller | 0 bytes / not detected, firmware-locked, power-loss corruption | $799 | 3–10 days |
| RAID 5 / 6 / 10 / 4-Bay+ NAS | Stripe & parity reconstruction, degraded or offline array | $1,499+ | 7–14 days |
| SSD Chip-Level (NAND) | Controller physically dead, direct NAND chip reading | $1,499+ | 10–21 days |
| Enterprise RAID (16+ drives) | Large-scale server arrays — contact us for assessment | Custom quote | 10–21 days |
No-data-no-pay: if we recover nothing, you pay only the $49 diagnostic.

Failed array, dead SSD, degraded NAS? One $49 diagnostic per device gives you a firm, fixed quote — no-data-no-pay on recovery.
The diagnostic is $49. RAID 1 (mirror) recovery starts at $799, since both drives typically need individual imaging before the array is rebuilt. RAID 5, 6, and 10 recovery starts at $1,499 due to stripe reconstruction and parity analysis. Enterprise arrays with 16+ drives are custom-quoted. With no-data-no-pay, you only pay for recovery if your files are recovered.
SSD diagnostic is $49. Logical recovery (deleted files, formatted drive, SSD still detected by the OS) runs $349. Firmware or controller failure (drive shows 0 bytes or is not detected) runs $799. Chip-level NAND recovery, where the controller is physically dead and chips must be read directly, runs $1,499 and up.
NAS pricing follows the RAID tiers above by bay count and RAID level. A 2-bay Synology or QNAP in RAID 1 typically runs $799-$1,299. A 4-bay or larger NAS in RAID 5/6/10, or a NAS with a failed drive plus a second at risk, typically runs $1,499 and up. The $49 diagnostic confirms the exact price after imaging each drive.
The diagnostic is $49 per device and is credited toward the recovery if you proceed. For RAID and NAS cases, each drive is imaged individually before a firm quote is issued. The recovery itself is covered by no-data-no-pay: no data, no recovery fee.
A RAID or NAS array is not one recovery — it's several. Each member drive must be imaged and assessed individually, then the stripe pattern, parity, and metadata must be reconstructed to rebuild the original file system. A degraded array with a second failing drive raises complexity and cost further. Single-drive SSD or HDD logical cases stay affordable because there's no array to reconstruct.
Yes — we recover Synology, QNAP, Buffalo, Drobo, Western Digital My Cloud, Asustor, and custom Linux/ZFS NAS builds, in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 configurations. Bring the drives and the NAS chassis if possible; a firm quote follows the $49 diagnostic.
SSD logical recovery takes 24-72 hours. SSD firmware/controller cases take 3-10 days. RAID 1 recovery takes 3-10 days. RAID 5/6/10 and multi-bay NAS recovery takes 7-14 days. Enterprise arrays and chip-level SSD cases take 10-21 days. The exact timeline is confirmed at diagnostic.
