Synology NAS External Hard Drive Data Recovery Belfast
Our Belfast-based data recovery services specialise in recovering data from all models of Synology NAS devices and external hard drives. Whether you’re facing RAID failures, drive issues, or human errors, our team is equipped to handle all types of data loss scenarios.
Synology NAS Models We Recover From
We support data recovery from all Synology NAS models, including:
- DiskStation Series: DS923+, DS1522+, DS1621+, DS223j, DS420+.
- RackStation Series: RS2821RP+, RS1221+, RS4021xs+.
- FlashStation Series: FS6400, FS2500.
These systems often operate in RAID configurations, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10, and are prone to various types of failures.
RAID Configurations We Recover From
Synology NAS systems are typically configured in RAID arrays, which can fail for many reasons. We recover from:
- RAID 0: Striped arrays where one drive failure results in data loss.
- RAID 1: Mirrored arrays where redundancy is maintained.
- RAID 5: Striped with parity, requiring a minimum of three drives.
- RAID 10: Combined mirroring and striping for performance and redundancy.
Synology NAS Drive Types We Support
Synology devices support a wide variety of drives. We recover data from:
- SATA Drives: Common in NAS devices.
- Solid-State Drives (SSDs): Faster and more durable.
- Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Drives: Optimized for 24/7 operation.
- Rugged External Hard Drives: For tough environments.
- Encrypted External Hard Drives: Drives with built-in security.
- Hybrid Drives (HDD + SSD): Combining speed and capacity.
Common Synology NAS and External Hard Drive Failures We Recover From
We handle a wide range of failure scenarios, including:
- RAID Failures:
- RAID card failure.
- RAID rebuild failure.
- Multiple drive failures in RAID arrays.
- Mechanical or Physical Failures:
- Actuator malfunctions, spindle motor issues, or head crashes.
- Software Issues:
- Corrupted file systems, accidental deletion, or formatting errors.
- Encryption Issues:
- Data locked due to forgotten passwords or encryption errors.
- Firmware Corruption:
- Errors in the NAS or drive firmware preventing operation.
- Electrical Damage:
- PCB failure from power surges or static discharge.
- Overheating:
- High temperatures leading to degraded performance or component failure.
- Bad Sectors:
- Damaged or unreadable sectors on the drive.
- Broken USB Ports:
- Connectivity issues caused by damaged or loose USB ports.
- Human Error:
- Accidental reformatting, deletion, or incorrect RAID reconfiguration.
Why Synology NAS Systems Fail
- Drive Compatibility Issues: Mismatched drives causing instability.
- Rebuild Failures: Failed attempts to reconstruct the RAID array.
- RAID Controller Malfunctions: Hardware issues in the RAID card.
- Firmware Updates Gone Wrong: Interruptions or corrupt updates leading to drive inaccessibility.
