In this article, we’ll discuss recovering data from RAID 1 built on Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 network storage device, restoring accidentally deleted files from the Recycle Bin, and retrieve the information from a non-operable NAS.

Netgear ReadyNAS devices are quite fast and safe storage solutions. The manufacturer declares multiple levels of protection against data loss. To get the most out of this storage system, you should understand the available concepts of disk configuration.

This NAS uses the X-RAID data storage system by default, but it can also use the conventional storage system, also known as flex-RAID. Each storage type provides certain degree of reliability, but none can give you a 100 percent guarantee against possible data loss. Below, we’ll show you how to change the data storage type on this NAS, how to recover accidentally deleted data, and how to retrieve information from the damaged RAID.

In this article, we’ll discuss recovering data from RAID 6 on Synology NAS DS2422+. We will explore how to configure backup schedule for important data, how to recover accidentally removed files from the recycle bin, and how to retrieve files if the RAID is degraded, completely destroyed, or if the NAS device is out of order. We will also have a closer look at fine details of configuration and recovery with the latest firmware version, DSM 7.1.

Synology is a well-known manufacturer of NAS storage systems. Typically, such devices as Synology DiskStation and RackStation NAS are easy to use and can be found in various RAID configurations, including RAID 0, RAID 1, 5, 6 and RAID 10. They also support their own storage configurations, SHR and SHR-2.

In the work of any network-attached storage, there may be certain issues that could result in loss of data. Quite often, users may accidentally remove important files, or there can be various problems that block access to data or cause data loss. Possible scenarios also include hardware breakdowns, wrong configuration, firmware issues and so on. If you lose access to files, the first rule is to stay calm and not to panic. Any wrong action at this stage often leads to losing all the information.

As is the case with any NAS, recovering data is never easy. To restore accidentally removed information or retrieve files from an inoperable NAS, you need a specialized software tool.

In this article, we’ll find out how to recover data from Synology Hybrid RAID of the second level based on DS1621+ NAS storage device. You’ll learn how to migrate from Synology Hybrid RAID to Hybrid RAID-2 and what to do if the migration encounters an error and the RAID system crashes or becomes inaccessible.

Synology devices offer their own technology – Synology Hybrid RAID – to organize a storage system. Synology Hybrid RAID (or SHR for short) is the technology developed to prevent loss of disk space when hard disks of different capacity are installed into a NAS device. To cut the long story short, this technology lets you use all – or almost all – available disk space to organize safe storage for your data with sufficient redundancy.

In this article, we’ll find out how to recover data from RAID 1 and RAID 0 based on Qnap TS-219P+ network-attached storage, how to recover accidentally removed files from the recycle bin, what to do if this option is inactive, if there is no access to the disk array because of a NAS failure, or if the RAID is degraded.

This QNAP NAS model is designed to use two hard disks. To improve resilience and data safety, such devices enable you to create RAID systems of various types. However, even the most reliable storage systems may encounter emergencies like accidental deletion of files, formatting or damaging the hard disk, system errors, controller failures and other hardware issues, which may result in loss of important data.

This specific model supports two RAID types, RAID1 and RAID0, as well as JBOD, which is sometimes referred to as linear RAID, but technically it isn’t a RAID at all. In the end, redundancy in this NAS is only achieved by using a mirrored RAID. But if one of the disks fails in either RAID0 or JBOD, a part of the information is bound to be lost. In this article, we will explore a situation when the NAS is broken; all the files are still on its disks but it’s impossible to retrieve them unless you use a specialized software tool.

The matter is that a NAS storage device uses its own operating system which builds the RAID in a certain way and then writes data to its disks. Even when the hard disks are connected to another storage device or computer, their condition cannot be restored.

For example, when the disks are connected to a Windows computer, you will see some partitions with an unrecognized file system; another possible case is that the operating system will suggest initializing them in the Disk Management app – which is going to erase all the data still remaining on the disks. So in the end, you are going to lose access to the files or even lose the files forever.

In a Linux operating system, the disk partitions will be displayed as Linux RAID, and the option to mount is unavailable.

You should remember that if you choose to initialize the hard disks in Windows or modify the volume in Linux, this action can erase all the information, and it will make recovery very difficult. Never take any steps involving the hard disks unless you really know what you’re doing, since there is a risk of losing your data permanently.

To retrieve the information from the hard disks, you will need a special tool to rebuild the RAID system and restore access to the files which are stored inside the disk array.

In this article, we’ll tell you how to recover data from the RAID system of a non-operable NAS by LaCie, and how to build a RAID or change the RAID level and retrieve files from a crashed RAID system.

In today’s world, data is of utmost importance. Network-attached storage devices often hold photos, documents, videos, backups and other precious information. A network-attached storage provides a reliable way to store data thanks to the RAID technology.

RAID is a way to combine several physical hard disks into a single logical data storage. RAID gives you good reliability, high performance and the possibility to recover data if one or several disks fail.

LaCie 5big lets you create disk arrays of various levels (for example, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 и RAID 6) which ensured protection against data loss.

RAID systems have several advantages including enhanced reliability, fault tolerance and data recovery options. However, there may be various issues like hardware failures, configuration errors, or equipment breakdowns which may result in losing access to your files. If something like that happened, it is important to know how to restore access to your data and recover it.
