Professional SPAN Data Recovery Services
SPAN (or N-RAID) devices are popular for network storage, spanning data across multiple drives but lacking redundancy. This makes them vulnerable to data loss if a single drive fails. PITS Data Recovery specializes in SPAN recovery, delivering reliable results with minimal downtime for businesses of all sizes.
With extensive RAID recovery experience, our engineers handle complex SPAN failures caused by hardware issues, software errors, or file corruption. Using advanced tools and certified facilities, we safely restore data without further risk. With 50+ drop-off locations nationwide, we offer easy access to tailored, high-level recovery solutions—even in emergencies.
What to Avoid When a SPAN Device Fails?
Do Not Continue Using the Device
Power down the system immediately when you notice failure symptoms. Continuing to use a failed SPAN can worsen the damage
Avoid DIY Repairs
Attempting to fix the device yourself or opening it in an unspecialized facility can cause irreparable harm and lead to complete data loss.
Do Not Use Free or Online Recovery Tools
Unverified recovery tools can overwrite your lost files, making recovery impossible. These applications do not guarantee success and can complicate the recovery process.
Common Causes of SPAN Device Failures
SPAN configurations are efficient but lack redundancy, making them prone to various failure scenarios. Recognizing the causes of failure can help you act swiftly and increase the likelihood of data recovery.
Single Drive Failure
Since SPAN configurations lack redundancy, one drive failure can result in data loss across the entire array.
File Corruption
Corrupted data can make files inaccessible or cause system errors.
User Error
Accidental deletions, formatting, or improper configurations can lead to data loss.
Hardware Issues
Aging components, power surges, or physical damage to the drives.
Software Errors
Malfunctions in the controller card or firmware can disrupt data access.
