Bristol is a leading UK hub for technology, creative industries, aerospace engineering, and higher education. Companies and institutions in these sectors depend heavily on NAS storage systems such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear to secure business-critical and research data.

When a NAS system fails, the consequences can be serious: halted engineering projects, interrupted video productions, or inaccessible academic files. With over 15 years of experience, RecData Bristol provides professional NAS and RAID recovery services, trusted by organisations across the South West.

Common NAS Failures in Bristol

Some of the most frequent cases we see include:

RAID rebuild errors when swapping failed disks.
Multiple drive crashes in high-load environments.
Firmware corruption caused by updates or power interruptions.
File system corruption due to improper shutdowns.
Human mistakes, such as deletion or formatting.

Every recovery is carried out in ISO-certified clean rooms to guarantee data integrity.

RAID 1 – Popular in Healthcare and Finance

RAID 1 mirroring is widely used in Bristol’s hospitals, private clinics, financial firms, and legal offices, where redundancy is critical.

Case Study (Bristol law firm):
A RAID 1 Synology NAS storing sensitive case files failed after both mirrored drives developed sector errors. RecData engineers stabilised the drives and restored the entire dataset, allowing the firm to continue operations without legal risk.

RAID 5 – Key for Aerospace and Universities

RAID 5 is common in aerospace engineering firms, logistics companies, and Bristol University departments, thanks to its balance between speed and redundancy.

Case Study (Bristol aerospace supplier):
A QNAP RAID 5 with six drives failed when two disks dropped during a rebuild. The system contained CAD models and prototype data. RecData reconstructed the RAID manually, recovering terabytes of designs and ensuring project deadlines were met.

Other RAID Configurations in Bristol

Beyond RAID 1 and RAID 5, we recover from:

RAID 6 – Favoured by financial and public institutions.
RAID 0 – Used by media and creative firms for speed, though risky.
JBOD – Found in smaller offices and research teams.

Case Study (Bristol media agency):
A RAID 0 system storing video campaigns failed after one drive became unreadable. RecData engineers successfully recovered most of the projects, allowing the agency to deliver content to clients on time.
