Oxford is renowned for its universities, research institutions, law firms, and consultancy companies, all of which depend heavily on RAID storage arrays and NAS devices to safeguard and manage critical data. When a RAID system fails, the consequences can disrupt teaching, research, legal cases, or business operations.

With over 15 years of experience, RecData provides professional RAID Data Recovery in Oxford, helping organisations recover valuable data securely and quickly.

Common RAID Failures in Oxford

RecData engineers frequently recover from:

Multiple drive failures in RAID 5 and RAID 10.
Rebuild failures after replacing faulty disks.
Parity corruption in RAID 5 and RAID 6 arrays.
Accidental reinitialisation or formatting.
Controller and firmware failures in enterprise servers.

All procedures are carried out in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring safe recovery of business and academic data.

RAID 1 – Protection for Legal & Academic Institutions

RAID 1 is often deployed by law firms, medical practices, and academic departments that value redundancy.

Case Study (RAID 1 law office):
A law office in Oxford lost access to sensitive documents when both drives in its RAID 1 array failed after a power surge. RecData engineers successfully restored the files, allowing the firm to continue its casework without interruptions.

RAID 5 – Widely Used by Research and Consultancy Firms

RAID 5 provides a balance of storage and redundancy, making it a popular choice among research labs, consultancy firms, and startups in Oxford.

Case Study (RAID 5 research department):
A university research group stored experimental data on a RAID 5 array. When two drives failed during a rebuild, the RAID collapsed. RecData specialists reconstructed the array, recovering all data so research could continue without loss of months of work.

RAID 10 – Performance and Reliability for Finance & IT

Many consultancies, financial firms, and IT companies in Oxford rely on RAID 10 for its speed and redundancy.

Case Study (RAID 10 consultancy):
A consultancy in Oxford experienced a dual drive failure on a RAID 10 server. RecData rebuilt the array and restored critical client data within 48 hours, minimising downtime.

NAS RAID Recovery – QNAP, Synology & More

Oxford-based organisations often use NAS devices such as QNAP, Synology, Buffalo, and Netgear ReadyNAS configured in RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6.

Case Study (QNAP RAID 5 startup):
A tech startup in Oxford lost access to its projects after a QNAP RAID 5 NAS suffered multiple drive failures. RecData engineers successfully recovered the data, enabling operations to resume.

Case Study (Synology RAID 1 academic department):
A university department using a Synology RAID 1 NAS experienced simultaneous disk errors. RecData restored all research files, ensuring the project could continue without setbacks.
