In this article, we’ll tell you how to recover data from a crashed RAID system based on a faulty NAS LaCie 5 Big Network 2, with the third-party firmware FVDW-SL installed.

LaCie 5big Network 2 is a popular network storage system with a RAID feature that provides sufficient safety and fault tolerance for your data storage needs. However, if the NAS device suffers from a failure and is out of order, the RAID becomes inaccessible, and all the data on its disks is actually lost. In my case, the situation is even more complicated, because I have installed a third-party firmware – fvdwsl – on this NAS. In such cases, it is important to know how to retrieve files from the crashed RAID system.

In this article, we’ll follow the steps required to restore the information from the crashed disk array on a faulty NAS, LaCie 5big Network 2. We will also explore the variant where third-party firmware is used to provide more advanced options for this network-attached storage.

As we know, this NAS model will never boot if you replace its hard disks. The matter is that its operating system is installed on a hard disk so if it is replaced, the device cannot boot. Restoring the native operating system for LaCie NAS is not easy either, since the manufacturer doesn’t provide any software to recover it. That is why in this article we’ll tell you how to install third-party firmware, how to create a RAID, how to configure the network storage device, and what to do if the NAS is down, but you need to recover information from its hard disks.
