Manchester is one of the UK’s leading hubs for finance, manufacturing, logistics, and digital innovation, with countless companies relying on RAID storage systems and NAS devices to manage critical data. When a RAID array fails—whether due to disk crashes, rebuild errors, or controller faults—the impact can halt production lines, disrupt client services, and cause significant data loss.

With over 15 years of specialist experience, RecData provides expert RAID Data Recovery in Manchester, restoring data securely and quickly from all RAID levels.

Common RAID Failures in Manchester

Our engineers regularly recover from:

Multiple disk failures in RAID 5 and RAID 10 arrays.
Rebuild errors after replacing failed drives.
Parity corruption making RAID volumes unreadable.
Accidental reinitialisation or deletion.
Controller failures in Dell, HP, and IBM servers.

All recovery work is completed in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring the safety of business-critical data.

RAID 1 – Used by Law Firms and SMEs

RAID 1 mirroring is often chosen by law offices, accountancy firms, and small businesses in Manchester that require simple redundancy.

Case Study (RAID 1 law office):
A law firm lost access to its client documents when both drives in a mirrored RAID 1 failed. RecData engineers repaired the disks and successfully restored all legal files, helping the firm avoid disruption to ongoing cases.

RAID 5 – Common in Manufacturing & Digital Agencies

RAID 5 is a popular configuration across manufacturers, agencies, and service companies in Manchester, offering good storage efficiency but higher risks during rebuilds.

Case Study (RAID 5 manufacturing company):
A mid-sized manufacturer stored production schedules and quality reports on a RAID 5 array. When two disks failed during a rebuild, the system collapsed. RecData manually reconstructed the RAID, restoring all operational data and allowing production to resume.

RAID 10 – Performance and Reliability for Finance & IT

Many financial institutions, consultancies, and IT companies in Manchester use RAID 10 for its balance of redundancy and performance.

Case Study (RAID 10 consultancy):
A consultancy’s RAID 10 server experienced simultaneous disk errors and a controller issue, causing database corruption. RecData rebuilt the RAID and recovered all client data within 48 hours, minimising downtime.

RAID in NAS Systems – QNAP, Synology & More

Across Manchester, startups, creative studios, and research groups often rely on NAS devices such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear ReadyNAS, typically configured with RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6.

Case Study (QNAP RAID 5 startup):
A Manchester-based tech startup lost access to its project data after a QNAP NAS in RAID 5 failed during a rebuild. RecData engineers recovered all files, enabling the team to continue development.

Case Study (Synology RAID 1 accountancy firm):
An accountancy office’s Synology NAS in RAID 1 failed after a power surge damaged both drives. RecData restored all financial records, ensuring compliance deadlines were met.
