When NAS systems fail, businesses risk critical downtime and data loss. At RecData Malta, we provide advanced NAS and RAID recovery services designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and enterprises that rely on high-availability storage.
Our engineers have over 15 years of experience recovering complex NAS failures, from logical corruption to multi-disk RAID breakdowns. We operate using ISO-certified cleanrooms, proprietary recovery tools, and collaborate with leading international laboratories such as Canada, Dubai, Albania, Portugal, and Luxembourg.
For the most critical cases, we partner with one of the top UK laboratories, equipped with ISO-certified Class 100 cleanrooms and engineers highly specialized in enterprise NAS/RAID recovery.
Synology NAS Data Recovery
Synology NAS systems are popular in SMBs and enterprise IT infrastructures thanks to Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) and advanced DSM features. Common failure scenarios include:
- DS1819+, RS820RP+, DS920+: RAID rebuild failures after multiple disk errors.
- DSM firmware corruption causing volume inaccessibility.
- Btrfs or ext4 filesystem corruption after sudden power loss.
- Failed upgrades that render LUNs (iSCSI targets) unreadable.
RecData engineers can reconstruct SHR, RAID 0/1/5/6/10, and hybrid configurations. We also support encrypted volumes, preserving original folder structure.
QNAP NAS Data Recovery
QNAP systems (TS series, TVS series) are widely used for virtualization and multimedia. Failures include:
- TS-453D, TVS-872XT, TS-253Be: RAID metadata corruption after disk replacement.
- QTS firmware update failures resulting in “NAS not initialized” errors.
- ZFS and EXT4 corruption on storage pools.
- iSCSI LUN corruption on enterprise-class models.
We utilize QNAP-specific recovery methods to rebuild mdadm RAID structures and LVM partitions, restoring access to virtual machines and shared volumes.
Buffalo NAS Data Recovery
Buffalo TeraStation and LinkStation devices are common in SMEs. Frequent issues include:
- TS5410DN, LS220D, TS3400D: Firmware crashes leaving RAID arrays offline.
- XFS filesystem corruption on TeraStation RAID 5/6.
- Failed parity rebuilds after hot-swap attempts.
Our lab can rebuild Buffalo’s proprietary RAID layouts and recover CIFS/NFS/AFP shared folders with minimal downtime.
Netgear NAS Data Recovery
Netgear ReadyNAS devices (RN424, RN528X, RN4360X) use X-RAID2 and Flex-RAID. Failures include:
- RAID expansion errors after disk upgrades.
- Btrfs corruption on ReadyNAS OS 6 systems.
- Parity loss in RAID 5/6 configurations.
We reconstruct Netgear arrays manually, allowing recovery even in cases where the native RAID controller fails.
Western Digital (WD) NAS Data Recovery
Western Digital My Cloud, EX Series, PR Series are prone to both logical and physical issues:
- WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra, PR4100, DL2100: Multiple disk failure in RAID 1/5.
- OS corruption leading to “device not initialized” errors.
- Data loss after firmware upgrade or reset.
RecData can recover data from WD NAS devices with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and JBOD configurations.
Other NAS Brands
We also recover enterprise NAS solutions including:
- Dell EMC Isilon clusters with OneFS failures.
- Lenovo ThinkSystem NAS with RAID 6 corruption.
- Seagate BlackArmor and IronWolf NAS arrays.
- Thecus, TerraMaster, and Drobo NAS with proprietary storage pools.
RAID 0 NAS Data Recovery
RAID 0 offers performance but zero redundancy. Failures occur when a single drive goes offline:
- Loss of striped volumes across all disks.
- Overwritten array metadata after failed rebuild attempts.
- Logical corruption due to improper shutdown.
We perform sector-level reconstruction of RAID 0 arrays, recovering data without relying on the original controller.
RAID 1 NAS Data Recovery
RAID 1 is designed for redundancy, but issues include:
- Simultaneous failure of mirrored drives.
- Controller corruption preventing rebuild.
- Human error: accidental reinitialization or volume formatting.
RecData clones each disk, ensuring bit-perfect recovery of mirrored sets.
RAID 5 NAS Data Recovery
RAID 5 remains one of the most common enterprise configurations. Failures include:
- Multiple disk failure before rebuild.
- Parity corruption across the array.
- Rebuild errors after hot-swap.
- Controller malfunction.
Using proprietary algorithms, RecData restores RAID 5 arrays, reconstructs missing parity, and maintains original data integrity.
