Oxford is world-renowned for its universities, academic research, publishing, and healthcare institutions. All of these sectors rely heavily on NAS storage systems like QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear to safeguard and share massive amounts of data.

When a NAS system fails in Oxford, the risks are serious—loss of critical research data, delays in medical studies, publishing disruptions, or academic setbacks. With more than 15 years of proven experience, RecData Oxford offers reliable and professional NAS data recovery services tailored to the needs of local institutions and businesses.

Common NAS Failures in Oxford

Some of the most frequent cases we see include:

RAID rebuild errors when disks are replaced.
Firmware corruption after failed updates.
Multiple disk failures in large RAID setups.
Logical damage or file system corruption due to power interruptions.
Human error, such as deletions or accidental reformatting.

Every recovery is handled in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring the highest level of care for sensitive data.

RAID 1 – Popular in Healthcare and Research Teams

RAID 1 mirroring is popular in Oxford hospitals, laboratories, and professional services where redundancy is critical.

Case Study (Oxford hospital department):
A RAID 1 Synology storing patient records suffered simultaneous read errors on both mirrored drives. RecData engineers cloned and stabilized the drives, successfully restoring all medical files within 48 hours, preventing disruption to patient care.

RAID 5 – Common in Universities and Publishing Houses

RAID 5 is widely used across Oxford University faculties, publishing companies, and research institutions, balancing storage efficiency with redundancy.

Case Study (Oxford publishing company):
A RAID 5 QNAP system used for storing manuscripts and layout files failed after two drives crashed during a rebuild. RecData manually reconstructed the RAID array and recovered terabytes of critical editorial files, ensuring production deadlines were met.

Other RAID Configurations in Oxford

RAID 6 – Favoured by government and financial institutions for extra protection.
RAID 0 – Seen in creative industries, risky due to no redundancy.
JBOD – Still common in small academic groups, though vulnerable to single-drive loss.

Case Study (Oxford academic research group):
A RAID 0 used for storing experimental video recordings failed when one drive became unreadable. RecData engineers restored the majority of files, allowing the team to continue its work without starting from scratch.
