What Is NAS and Why Data Loss Happens
NAS, or Network Attached Storage, is a centralised storage system connected to a network, commonly used for backups, file sharing, and business-critical data. Most NAS devices use RAID configurations such as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 to improve performance and redundancy.
However, RAID is not a backup. When multiple failures occur, data loss can be sudden and severe.
Common reasons customers contact us to recover data from NAS drives include:
- Multiple disk failures in RAID arrays
- Accidental deletion or overwritten files
- NAS firmware corruption or failed updates
- Controller or motherboard failure
- Power surges and electrical damage
- Human error during RAID rebuilds
NAS Data Recovery for All RAID Configurations
We specialise in NAS RAID data recovery, including complex multi-disk systems used in business environments.
Our engineers regularly recover data from:
- RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6
- Hybrid RAID systems (Synology SHR)
- Encrypted NAS volumes
- Linux-based NAS file systems
Unlike standard file recovery, NAS RAID recovery requires precise reconstruction of disk order, parity, and stripe size. Any mistake can permanently destroy the data. This is why DIY recovery tools or swapping drives into a new NAS is extremely risky.
Data Clinic’s NAS Data Recovery Process
Common NAS Failure Scenarios We Recover From
There are 3 main types of Network Attached Storage failure:
Recovering Data from Failed RAID 5 NAS Systems
RAID 5 NAS systems do not store files on a single drive. Data is split into blocks and distributed across all disks with parity information.
This means:
- You cannot recover files from individual NAS drives
- Incorrect attempts result in corrupted or unreadable data
As a specialist NAS server recovery provider, Data Clinic reconstructs the full RAID virtually, reassembling files exactly as they were stored. This process requires deep technical expertise and specialist tools.
If your NAS contains valuable business or personal data, we strongly recommend not attempting recovery yourself.
NAS Brands We Recover Data From
We support all major NAS manufacturers, including:
- Synology NAS data recovery

Frequently Asked Questions About NAS Data Recovery
1. Can data be recovered from a failed NAS drive?
Yes, in most cases data can be recovered from a failed NAS device. At the Data Clinic, we regularly recover data from NAS systems affected by disk failures, RAID errors, firmware corruption, and controller faults. Even if your NAS no longer powers on or shows as inaccessible, professional recovery is often possible. We recommend stopping all use immediately and contacting our engineers for a free assessment.
2. How much does NAS data recovery cost in the UK?
The cost of NAS data recovery depends on factors such as the RAID configuration, number of drives, type of failure, and the amount of reconstruction required. Data Clinic offers a free diagnosis and transparent pricing before any work begins. In most cases, we also operate a No Data – No Fee policy.
3. Can you recover data from RAID 5 NAS systems?
Yes. RAID 5 NAS data recovery is one of our core specialisms. Data Clinic reconstructs RAID 5 arrays by correctly identifying disk order, stripe size, and parity information. This allows us to rebuild files exactly as they were stored, even after multiple drive failures or failed rebuild attempts.
4. Is it safe to use NAS data recovery software?
Using recovery software on a failed NAS or RAID system is risky and can permanently damage your data. Incorrect rebuilds or scans may overwrite parity information, making professional recovery impossible. If your data is important, Data Clinic strongly advises against DIY attempts and recommends professional NAS recovery instead.
5. What should I do if my NAS has failed?
If your NAS has failed, power it down immediately and avoid rebuilding, reinitialising, or moving the drives to another device. These actions can cause irreversible data loss. Contact Data Clinic as soon as possible for expert guidance and a free NAS recovery assessment.
