What to do right now if your NAS has failed
If your NAS is reporting a degraded or dead volume, the safest thing you can do is stop and call a NAS recovery specialist before taking any action that could overwrite your data. Recovery is far more likely to succeed when the device is left untouched.
- Do not panic — a degraded array often still holds your data.
- Power the NAS off safely, especially if it’s making unusual noises.
- Do not rebuild or resync the array—a rebuild can permanently overwrite recoverable data.
- Do not reformat, reinitialize, or swap disks around.
- Do not plug the individual disks into a PC — the data is spread across multiple drives and won’t be readable that way.
- Do not put the drives into a new NAS—it may reinitialize them and destroy your data.
- Don’t run NAS/RAID recovery software if a hardware fault is possible.
- Label the disk order if you remove drives, then call us.
The earlier you stop, the better your chances. Call 1300 495 440 straight away.
What NAS devices & brands can we recover?
Our NAS data recovery specialists work with virtually every NAS brand, model, and configuration — from home single-bay units to multi-bay and rack-mounted business arrays running any RAID level.
NAS brands we recover from daily: Synology, QNAP, Western Digital (WD), Netgear, Drobo, Buffalo, Thecus, Seagate, LaCie, Asustor, TerraMaster, D-Link, Iomega, and Promise.
We also recover related RAID arrays, SAN storage, and servers. For brand-specific help, see our dedicated Synology, QNAP, WD, Netgear, Drobo, and Thecus NAS recovery pages.
Common causes of NAS failure & data loss
NAS data loss usually comes down to a mix of disk-level faults, array or configuration problems, and external events—rarely just one cause. These are the NAS recovery scenarios we see most often:
- Single or multiple disk failure within the array.
- Parity loss or RAID corruption — the array won’t mount.
- The NAS won’t rebuild after a failed disk is replaced.
- The NAS won’t reboot after a firmware upgrade.
- Controller or NAS hardware failure.
- Power surge or power loss causing physical or logical corruption.
- Failed or interrupted rebuild / re-sync.
- Accidental deletion, reformat, or reinitialised volume.
- File system corruption on the NAS volume.
- The NAS is slow or hanging intermittently before total failure.
- Ransomware or malware locking or encrypting your data — including NAS-targeting strains such as QLocker, eCh0raix, and DeadBolt.
- Overheating or environmental damage (fire, water).
A NAS is effectively a small server, so when something goes wrong on a multi-disk system, recovery is complex — which is exactly why specialist tools and experience matter.

How long does NAS data recovery take?
Standard NAS data recovery typically takes from a few days up to about 7–10 business days, depending on the number of disks, the RAID level, and the type of fault. Logical recoveries are usually faster; complex multi-disk or physically damaged arrays take longer.

Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. NAS file recovery for accidentally deleted files is one of the most common jobs we handle — but stop using the NAS, don’t attempt a repair or rebuild, and call us, because continuing to use the device lowers the chance of recovery. We’ll assess the NAS and tell you what’s recoverable.
A NAS can fail due to disk failure, RAID/parity corruption, controller faults, power issues, or a failed firmware update. When it fails, the volume usually becomes inaccessible and the data on it can’t be reached until the array is professionally recovered.
Yes. Multi-disk and failed-RAID recoveries are a core part of what we do. We image each disk, virtually rebuild the array, and extract the data — without risking your original drives.
No — this is one of the most common ways people lose their data for good. The data is spread across multiple disks, so a PC can’t read them, and a new NAS may reinitialise the drives and overwrite everything. Leave the disks as they are and call a specialist.
Many NAS devices have a recycle bin that holds deleted files temporarily so they can be restored. However, it’s not guaranteed — it depends on the model and whether the feature was enabled, and it won’t help if the array itself fails.
Not on its own. A NAS is primarily shared storage. Even with RAID redundancy, it isn’t a true NAS backup — RAID protects against some disk failures, not against deletion, corruption, ransomware, or array failure. The safest approach is the 3-2-1 rule: three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy kept offsite.
