Sheffield, long recognised for its industrial heritage in steel and advanced manufacturing, is today also a centre for healthcare, research, and higher education. Many organisations across these sectors rely on NAS systems such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear to store essential data ranging from engineering designs to patient information.

When NAS systems fail, the impact can be severe: halted production, loss of medical files, or disruption to academic research. With over 15 years of expertise, RecData Sheffield provides professional NAS and RAID recovery services, trusted by both local enterprises and global organisations.

Common Causes of NAS Failures in Sheffield

Our engineers regularly recover data from issues such as:

RAID rebuild errors after drive replacement.
Multiple drive failures in stressed systems.
Firmware corruption following power cuts or failed updates.
File system corruption caused by sudden shutdowns.
Human errors, including deletion or reformatting.

All work is carried out in ISO-certified clean rooms to ensure maximum data protection.

RAID 1 – Trusted by Healthcare and Legal Firms

RAID 1 mirroring is frequently used by Sheffield hospitals, law firms, and financial services, where redundancy is essential.

Case Study (Sheffield private hospital):
A Synology RAID 1 storing medical imaging data failed after both mirrored drives developed read errors. RecData engineers stabilised the disks and recovered 100% of the files within 48 hours, enabling uninterrupted patient care.

RAID 5 – Popular in Manufacturing and University Research

RAID 5 offers an excellent balance of performance and redundancy, making it popular in Sheffield’s manufacturing firms, research labs, and logistics providers.

Case Study (Sheffield engineering firm):
A QNAP RAID 5 system with eight drives went offline when two disks failed during a rebuild. The NAS contained CAD files and production schedules. RecData manually rebuilt the RAID and restored terabytes of data, helping the company avoid costly delays.

Other RAID Configurations in Sheffield

We also recover data from:

RAID 6 – Used in financial and public sector organisations.
RAID 0 – Common in creative studios for performance, though highly risky.
JBOD – Still found in smaller offices and labs.

Case Study (Sheffield media agency):
A RAID 0 storing video content failed when one drive became unresponsive. RecData recovered the majority of footage, ensuring client projects were delivered on schedule.
