Edinburgh is home to some of the UK’s most important financial institutions, government agencies, universities, and tech companies. These organisations manage vast volumes of critical data stored on RAID arrays and NAS devices, chosen for their performance, redundancy, and scalability. Yet even the most robust RAID systems can fail due to hardware faults, power surges, controller failures, human error, or simultaneous drive crashes.

When data loss strikes, downtime is not an option. RecData provides professional RAID Data Recovery in Edinburgh, offering over 15 years of experience with all RAID levels and storage platforms. Our engineers work in ISO-certified clean room environments, combining hardware repair with logical RAID reconstruction to restore lost data securely and efficiently.

Typical RAID Failures in Edinburgh

From large banks to universities, our team often sees:

Multiple drive failures during rebuilds in RAID 5 and RAID 6.
Mirrored pair failures in RAID 1 and RAID 10.
Parity corruption after abrupt shutdowns or controller crashes.
Accidental array reinitialisation during server maintenance.
Controller or firmware faults causing logical misalignment.

Each recovery starts with imaging the drives at sector level to protect data integrity. Once secure copies are made, our specialists reconstruct the array logically, rebuild file systems, and extract recoverable data.

RAID 1 Recovery in Edinburgh – Law Firms & Government

RAID 1 is commonly deployed in legal offices, medical practices, and public institutions across Edinburgh. Its mirroring provides redundancy, but dual drive failure remains a common risk.

Case Study (law firm):
A law firm in Edinburgh lost access to case files when both drives in its RAID 1 server failed simultaneously after years of continuous use. RecData cloned the failing drives, reconstructed the mirror, and successfully restored all legal documents, allowing the firm to continue operations without costly downtime.

RAID 5 Recovery in Edinburgh – Finance & Universities

RAID 5 is one of the most popular configurations in Edinburgh’s financial sector and academic institutions because it balances capacity, performance, and redundancy. However, rebuild failures and parity corruption are frequent risks.

Case Study (financial office):
A financial services provider suffered catastrophic data loss when two disks failed during a RAID 5 rebuild. With databases offline, trading operations were halted. RecData engineers manually reconstructed the parity, recovered the SQL database, and restored service within 48 hours.

Case Study (university lab):
An Edinburgh university research lab storing experimental data on a RAID 5 server lost access when the controller corrupted metadata. RecData rebuilt the RAID structure at block level and fully restored the dataset, saving years of valuable research.

RAID 10 Recovery in Edinburgh – Tech Companies & Consultancy

RAID 10 is preferred by IT service providers, consultancies, and digital media agencies in Edinburgh for its balance of speed and redundancy. However, simultaneous disk failures or controller corruption can compromise the entire array.

Case Study (IT consultancy):
An IT firm in Edinburgh experienced a double mirror failure on a RAID 10 storage server. RecData engineers carefully rebuilt the stripe and mirror structure, restoring client project files and enabling the consultancy to meet contractual obligations.

NAS RAID Recovery in Edinburgh – QNAP, Synology & Enterprise Solutions

NAS appliances like QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear ReadyNAS are widely deployed in SMEs, schools, and local businesses in Edinburgh. Configured with RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6, they often fail due to multiple drive degradation, firmware bugs, or accidental reconfiguration.

Case Study (QNAP RAID 5 design studio):
A creative design studio in Edinburgh lost critical project files when two drives failed in a QNAP RAID 5 NAS. RecData cloned the damaged drives, rebuilt the RAID, and restored the files in full.

Case Study (Synology RAID 1 school):
A local school in Edinburgh experienced RAID 1 NAS failure when both mirrored drives developed read errors. RecData engineers successfully restored all lesson materials and student data.
