When your Synology NAS system fails, the impact on your business or personal life can be severe. Synology devices such as the DS920+, DS220+, DS1621+, RS820RP+, and DS1522+ are popular across the UK for their reliability and advanced features. However, hardware faults, RAID corruption, accidental deletion, or ransomware attacks can make critical data inaccessible.
RecData specialises in Synology data recovery services, supporting clients across major UK cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, and Edinburgh. Our engineers have extensive experience recovering data from failed NAS devices under urgent, complex conditions.
Synology RAID Configurations and Recovery
Synology NAS devices are often configured with RAID 5, RAID 6, or Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR). These provide redundancy but are not immune to data loss.
In RAID 5 setups, a single disk failure can be tolerated, but a second failure or rebuild error can compromise the entire array. RAID 6 provides greater redundancy but recovery is more complex. SHR offers flexibility, but proprietary algorithms require specialist knowledge to rebuild properly.
RecDataβs expertise ensures that even in severe failure cases, critical business data can be reconstructed and restored securely.
RAID 5 Data Recovery from Synology NAS
RAID 5 is one of the most common Synology configurations, especially for SMEs across the UK. When two or more drives fail, or if the parity becomes corrupted, rebuilding without professional tools often causes permanent data loss.
At RecData, we use advanced diagnostic tools and work with certified clean room labs to recover disks that have suffered physical damage. Our engineers reconstruct RAID 5 arrays, extract data securely, and deliver verified results.
Case Studies β Some situations we have experienced
Law Firm β London
A Synology RS820RP+ running RAID 5 failed after two drives went offline. The client risked losing confidential client files. RecData rebuilt the array in a controlled environment and restored all case documents within days.

A design company lost access to projects stored on a DS920+ due to accidental deletion and RAID sync errors. Our team successfully restored months of creative work, enabling them to continue client deliveries without interruption.
Accountancy Firm β Birmingham
A DS1621+ suffered a controller failure, rendering the RAID volume inaccessible. RecData cloned the drives, repaired the array, and delivered a secure recovery of sensitive financial data.
