Newcastle upon Tyne is a hub for energy companies, healthcare providers, universities, and logistics businesses, all of which depend heavily on NAS systems such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear for storing and protecting their critical data.
When a NAS system fails, the consequences can be severe: data loss in hospital environments, disruption to research projects at Newcastle University, or downtime for logistics companies operating across the North East. With over 15 years of experience, RecData Newcastle provides professional NAS and RAID recovery services, trusted by organisations throughout the region.
Common NAS Failures in Newcastle
Our engineers handle a wide range of failures, including:
- RAID rebuild errors during disk replacement.
- Drive failures under heavy loads or poor cooling.
- Firmware corruption caused by updates or sudden shutdowns.
- File system corruption following power cuts.
- Human errors, including accidental deletion or formatting.
All recoveries are performed in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring maximum protection of your data.
RAID 1 β Trusted by Healthcare and Professional Services
RAID 1 mirroring is commonly used in Newcastle hospitals, financial firms, and law offices, where data redundancy is essential.
Case Study (Newcastle private clinic):
A Synology RAID 1 system storing patient imaging data failed after both mirrored drives developed sector errors. RecData engineers cloned the disks, repaired logical structures, and restored the full dataset within 48 hours, ensuring critical patient data remained accessible.
RAID 5 β Ideal for Universities and Logistics
RAID 5 strikes a balance between speed, storage efficiency, and redundancy. Itβs popular in Newcastle University departments, logistics firms, and IT service providers.
Case Study (Newcastle logistics firm):
A six-disk QNAP RAID 5 system failed after two drives went offline during a rebuild. The NAS contained shipping manifests and tracking records. RecData manually reconstructed the RAID, recovering terabytes of data and preventing serious disruption to operations.
Other RAID Configurations in Newcastle
We also specialise in:
- RAID 6 β Used in finance and public sector organisations.
- RAID 0 β Found in creative studios requiring speed, but with no redundancy.
- JBOD β Still used in smaller offices or research environments.
Case Study (Newcastle media agency):
A RAID 0 array storing video campaigns failed when one drive suffered mechanical damage. RecData successfully recovered most of the footage, saving weeks of production work.
