Nottingham is a major centre for life sciences, higher education, financial services, and advanced manufacturing. Organisations across these sectors rely heavily on NAS systems such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear to store sensitive and business-critical data.
When a NAS system fails, the impact can be severeβwhether itβs delayed manufacturing schedules, missing medical research data, or interrupted financial services. With more than 15 years of expertise, RecData Nottingham delivers reliable and professional NAS and RAID recovery services, trusted by businesses and institutions throughout the East Midlands.
Common NAS Failures in Nottingham
Typical recovery cases include:
- RAID rebuild failures during drive replacement.
- Multiple disk crashes under heavy usage.
- Firmware corruption after power outages or updates.
- File system corruption caused by sudden shutdowns.
- Accidental deletion or formatting by staff.
All recoveries are completed in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring maximum security and precision.
RAID 1 β Vital for Healthcare and Finance
RAID 1 mirroring is widely adopted in Nottinghamβs hospitals, clinics, law firms, and financial institutions, where data redundancy is essential.
Case Study (Nottingham financial firm):
A Synology RAID 1 storing client transaction records failed when both mirrored drives developed bad sectors. RecData stabilised the drives, rebuilt the array, and recovered 100% of the files within 48 hours, avoiding regulatory issues for the firm.
RAID 5 β Essential for Manufacturing and Research
RAID 5 is a favourite among Nottingham manufacturers, logistics providers, and universities, as it offers a balance of performance and redundancy.
Case Study (Nottingham manufacturing company):
A QNAP RAID 5 with five disks went offline after two drives failed during a rebuild. The NAS contained CAD designs and production planning files. RecData engineers reconstructed the RAID manually, recovering terabytes of critical data and preventing costly production delays.
Other RAID Configurations in Nottingham
We also recover from:
- RAID 6 β Common in financial services and public institutions.
- RAID 0 β Often used by creative studios for speed, but very high risk.
- JBOD β Still found in smaller offices or research groups.
Case Study (Nottingham design agency):
A RAID 0 used for video editing crashed after one drive failed. RecData recovered most of the footage, helping the agency meet its delivery deadlines.
