As one of the world’s leading financial and technology capitals, London is home to thousands of organizations that depend on Network Attached Storage (NAS) to safeguard and manage their critical data. From investment banks in Canary Wharf to creative media studios in Shoreditch, NAS systems like QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear are used daily to store vast amounts of sensitive files.

When a NAS device fails, however, the consequences can be severe: downtime, data loss, regulatory risks, and reputational damage. With more than 15 years of proven experience, RecData London provides advanced NAS Data Recovery, ensuring that companies and professionals get their data back quickly and securely.

Common NAS Failures We See in London

In a city where every second counts, NAS failures are disruptive. Typical problems we encounter include:

Disk failures in multi-drive RAID arrays.
Firmware corruption after updates.
Accidental deletion or formatting by users.
RAID rebuild errors that render data inaccessible.
Power outages causing file system corruption.

At RecData London, our engineers use advanced tools to safely rebuild arrays and extract data without risking further loss.

RAID 1 – Mirrored Systems in Law Firms

RAID 1 is common in London’s legal and professional services, where redundancy is critical. A typical configuration might be a 2-bay Synology DiskStation storing confidential case files.

While RAID 1 protects against single disk failures, we often see cases where:

Both drives fail due to aging at the same time.
Accidental deletions are mirrored instantly to both disks.
Firmware bugs make both drives unreadable.

Case Study (London law practice, Holborn):
A boutique law firm lost access to client contracts after both RAID 1 disks developed bad sectors. RecData successfully rebuilt the array and recovered all critical legal documents within 72 hours.

RAID 5 – Popular in Finance and Media Companies

RAID 5 is widely deployed across London’s finance sector and media agencies. A typical scenario is a 4-bay QNAP NAS used by a Canary Wharf investment firm or a Soho post-production studio.

While RAID 5 offers a balance of performance and redundancy, common issues include:

Multiple drive failures during rebuilds.
Parity corruption, leaving files inconsistent.
Controller errors making the RAID inaccessible.

Case Study (Soho post-production agency):
A video studio lost terabytes of project files after a RAID 5 rebuild went wrong. RecData manually reconstructed the RAID parameters, restoring over 90% of their high-value media files.

RAID 6, RAID 0, and JBOD in London’s Tech Sector

Beyond RAID 1 and RAID 5, many London businesses rely on:

RAID 6 – Favored by larger corporations for its double parity protection, but still vulnerable to simultaneous drive stress during rebuilds.
RAID 0 – Common in media and tech startups that need maximum performance, but one disk failure means complete data loss.
JBOD – Seen in low-cost setups; when a drive fails, only its portion of the data is lost, but recovery can still be complex.

Case Study (London fintech startup, Shoreditch):
A RAID 0 setup storing trading algorithm datasets failed when one SSD crashed. Despite the lack of redundancy, RecData successfully extracted the majority of raw data, helping the company continue its operations.
