Fast and secure Drobo data recovery in London
Drobo storage units use BeyondRAID, a proprietary system that spreads data across disks of different sizes. It isn’t standard RAID, so ordinary tools can’t read the disks. Drobo products have been discontinued and the company behind them entered bankruptcy in 2023 – there’s no manufacturer support, no replacement units and no firmware fixes. Specialist recovery is the only way to get data back from a failed Drobo.

Experts in Drobo and RAID data recovery
Common Drobo failures
- Red or flashing lights on several bays.
- “Too many drives have been removed” messages.
- Drobo stuck rebooting or not mounting.
- Failed relayout after replacing a disk.
- Power supply or chassis failure with no replacement available.
Before you send your Drobo
- Switch it off and don’t remove disks while it’s running.
- Note which disk was in which bay.
- Don’t insert the disks into another Drobo – it may try to reformat them.
Frequently asked questions
Can you recover a Drobo without the original unit?
Yes. We reconstruct BeyondRAID from the disks alone, although sending the unit helps if you still have it.
How much does Drobo recovery cost?
The initial consultation is free. Drobo recoveries are priced like RAID recoveries – £750 to £1,500+ + VAT depending on the number of disks to repair and rebuild.
