Southampton is one of the UKβs most important hubs for maritime trade, logistics, higher education, and healthcare. From shipping companies to research institutions and hospitals, organisations across the city depend on NAS systems such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear to protect and manage critical data.
When a NAS fails, the consequences can be severeβshipping schedules disrupted, university research interrupted, or patient records temporarily lost. With over 15 years of expertise, RecData Southampton provides professional NAS and RAID recovery services, trusted across the South Coast.
Common NAS Failures in Southampton
Some of the most common issues include:
- RAID rebuild errors during disk replacement.
- Multiple drive crashes in high-use environments.
- Firmware corruption caused by updates or sudden power loss.
- File system corruption from improper shutdowns.
- Accidental deletions and formatting errors.
All recoveries are performed in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring full data protection.
RAID 1 β Used in Healthcare and Financial Services
RAID 1 mirroring is widely used in Southamptonβs hospitals, private clinics, and financial firms, where redundancy and reliability are critical.
Case Study (Southampton private hospital):
A Synology RAID 1 NAS containing patient imaging files failed after both mirrored disks developed bad sectors. RecData stabilised the drives, rebuilt the array, and restored all data in under 48 hours, preventing disruption to healthcare operations.
RAID 5 β Supporting Shipping and Research
RAID 5 is popular among Southamptonβs shipping companies, logistics providers, and university research departments because of its balance between performance and redundancy.
Case Study (Southampton shipping company):
A QNAP RAID 5 array with eight drives failed when two disks crashed mid-rebuild. The system contained international freight records. RecData reconstructed the RAID manually, restoring terabytes of vital data and preventing operational delays.
