Portsmouth is a city with a strong tradition in maritime industries, defence, technology, and education. From shipbuilding and naval operations to local universities and growing IT firms, many organisations in the area rely on NAS systems like QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear to safeguard vital data.

When a NAS system fails, the consequences can be serious—disrupted defence operations, lost research files, or business downtime. With over 15 years of experience, RecData Portsmouth provides expert NAS data recovery, trusted by both local businesses and global companies operating in the region.

Typical Causes of NAS Failure in Portsmouth

We commonly see:

RAID rebuild errors during drive replacement.
Firmware corruption after updates or improper shutdowns.
Multiple disk failures in systems under heavy workloads.
File system corruption due to power issues.
Human errors, such as accidental deletions or formatting.

All recoveries are performed in ISO-certified clean rooms to guarantee safety and precision.

RAID 1 – Popular with Defence and Local Services

RAID 1 mirroring is widely used in Portsmouth naval contractors, legal services, and healthcare providers, where redundancy is critical.

Case Study (Portsmouth defence supplier):
A RAID 1 Synology NAS storing compliance records failed after both mirrored drives developed bad sectors. RecData stabilised the disks and recovered the full dataset in 48 hours, ensuring the company remained compliant with defence regulations.

RAID 5 – Used by Universities and Tech Firms

RAID 5 balances efficiency and redundancy, making it popular in Portsmouth universities, IT consultancies, and logistics companies.

Case Study (Portsmouth university faculty):
A RAID 5 QNAP NAS with six bays went offline after two drives failed during a rebuild. The system contained years of academic research. RecData manually reconstructed the RAID, restoring terabytes of critical files and saving the project.

Other RAID Configurations in Portsmouth

We also recover:

RAID 6 – Often used in government and financial offices for extra protection.
RAID 0 – Found in media firms prioritising speed, though highly risky.
JBOD – Still seen in small offices and research labs.

Case Study (Portsmouth design studio):
A RAID 0 used for storing graphic design projects failed when one drive stopped responding. RecData engineers recovered the majority of client projects, preventing delivery delays.
