Glasgow is one of Scotlandβs largest business and technology centres, home to industries ranging from energy and engineering to healthcare, finance, and higher education. To manage sensitive and high-volume data, many of these organizations depend on NAS devices such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear.
When a NAS fails, the consequences can be criticalβdisrupted hospital workflows, halted energy project management, or lost financial records. With more than 15 years of hands-on expertise, RecData Glasgow delivers advanced NAS Data Recovery, trusted by companies and institutions throughout Scotland and the wider UK.
Common Causes of NAS Failures in Glasgow
Typical problems we encounter in Glasgow include:
- RAID rebuild failures during degraded mode.
- Multiple disk failures under high workloads.
- Firmware or software corruption after updates.
- Power outages, common in industrial and energy sectors.
- Human error, such as accidental formatting.
All recoveries are performed in ISO-certified clean rooms, protecting drives from further damage.
RAID 1 β Critical Redundancy in Healthcare and Legal Firms
RAID 1, or mirroring, is widely used by Glasgow healthcare providers, law firms, and accountancy practices where data integrity is essential.
Case Study (Glasgow private hospital):
A hospitalβs RAID 1 system storing diagnostic images failed when both drives developed bad sectors. RecData engineers cloned the disks, repaired logical structures, and restored complete patient files within 48 hours, ensuring no interruption to care.
RAID 5 β Popular in Energy and Research Institutions
RAID 5 is common in Glasgowβs engineering companies, energy providers, and universities, offering efficiency and redundancy. A typical setup is a 4- or 6-bay QNAP NAS.
Case Study (Glasgow engineering firm):
A RAID 5 array supporting project data became inaccessible after two disks failed mid-rebuild. RecData reconstructed the RAID manually, successfully recovering CAD files and project documentation that were essential for regulatory compliance.
Other RAID Setups Seen in Glasgow
- RAID 6 β Used by financial services for stronger redundancy.
- RAID 0 β Found in media and creative agencies, but any drive failure results in total loss.
- JBOD β Simple storage setups vulnerable to single drive failure.
Case Study (Glasgow media agency):
A RAID 0 used for video production failed when a disk suffered mechanical damage. RecData recovered most video archives, allowing the agency to deliver on schedule.
