Secure NAS Data Recovery in London
Data Recovery Services London Central London:
For Network Attached Storage – NAS
There’s been a surge in the use of NAS devices in both home and business settings in recent years. They’re very much of the now. You’ll find them in your smartphones and they can even keep the kids quiet by providing for video streaming.
The obvious appeal of NAS devices is that they permit multiple users to connect and share files on a single device over a network interface. In the home environment, they tend to be used for media streaming to several devices, including the TV. On the business front, NAS devices are often used as a means to share files between personnel – that without the cost of installing a dedicated server for the purpose.
File systems used by NAS
Kensington Computers & Laptop Repair knows well that there’s such complexity in their workings of NAS devices that the recovery of data demands a professional understanding of these many and intricate file system structures. We do it week in, week out. This is explained by the method in which the folder and file name structure is generated – known as an inode data structure. It’s far more complex than the structures used, say, in Windows and Apple OSX platforms.
RAID Data Recovery
The many larger NAS devices are set up as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) volumes. This is where data is distributed across multiple disks. If you have a RAID failure in your NAS device then please do not attempt to remove even a single disk from the unit or you’ll have big problems. Point blank, you just won’t be able to access the data on it. Subsequent new data written to the disk will cause the RAID array to degrade - with irreparable file loss. It’s curtains for your data at that point I’m afraid. The most vulnerable in this scenario are RAID 0 and RAID 5 configurations.
NAS Failures
The typical NAS drive failures we come across at Kensington Computers and Laptop Repair relate to degraded media - it’s rife in these failures and its onset may often go completely undetected. The disk failure goes unnoticed simply because the unit is stored in its casing out of sight in either the home or office setting. The warning LEDs which indicate that failure is imminent are just not seen - they’re covered by its housing. NAS devices support high capacity hard disk drives so we rarely see a NAS device with a storage capacity of 500GB or lower. For greater reliability, the majority of modern NAS devices use a multiple disk RAID configuration.
Common Network Attached Storage Issues
NAS drives often fail due to lack of air flow around them – they overheat and the hard drives get ‘cooked’.
NAS devices are usually multiple disk RAID models but some manufacturers do produce single disk devices, like Western Digital My Cloud, which has a range of models that only incorporates a single hard drive.
These systems can easily become corrupted, which makes data recovery a tricky process that only experts like those at Kensington Computers & Laptop Repairs can handle. Our experience and working knowledge of these file systems is essential for best chances of a successful recovery.
