Network Attached Storage (NAS) is the most widespread solution when there is a need to store large amounts of data or access valuable files across multiple devices. Network drives already have a built-in controller, so users can start using them as soon as they are plugged into your system.

Usually, NAS devices use several hard drives connected as a RAID array. These drives already have their processor, so they can be configured and programmed.  Businesses and individuals entrust their data to NAS devices due to its many advantages. However, as with any media, NAS is susceptible to failures.

What to Do When Facing a NAS Failure?

Facing a failure on a NAS device is complicated and stressful, as it often leads to data loss. When files becomes inaccessible, users try to solve this problem themselves. However, this approach to the problem is not right and can cause more harm than good.

There are many recovery tutorials on the Internet, but following them is very risky for a failed device. A user can severely worsen the situation by trying to repair the NAS drives in unspecialized facilities.

Using data recovery software on your storage device is also not recommended. Unverified tools can cause overwriting of your valuable files. In addition to overwriting, it can insert malware into the drives by making the case more complicated.

NAS devices usually have built-in rebuild features. It is essential to refrain from using these functions when facing a failure on a device. 

“Rebuild” or “Restore” processes tend to reinitialize the internal RAID array, which has destructive potential for your data. The drive’s “Restore” function usually creates a new, workable – but completely empty partition.

Hence, when noting any signs of malfunction from your NAS device, it is essential to power it down. If you continue to use the failed device, you risk damaging the valuable files stored on it. Hence, we recommend turning it off and not trying to restart it.

The next step is to contact a reputable data recovery company. NAS devices have a complicated infrastructure that only experienced engineers can handle. To achieve the maximum results of file recovery, entrust your case to professionals.
