NAS Data Storage Device's Failure
Before replacing or rebuilding a failed drive, back up critical data and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines. If any issues arise during a RAID rebuild, like a secondary drive failure or unexpected error, stop immediately and consult a professional data recovery service.
Common NAS Failures
- Human Error: The most common cause of data loss is human error. This includes accidentally deleting files, mishandling the NAS enclosure, or incorrect configurations that lead to data loss.
Mechanical Failure: This involves issues with the physical components of the NAS device. Overheating, wear and tear, or other physical damage can lead to hard drive failure and data loss.
Software Corruption: Occurs when the NAS device’s system software is compromised, often due to malware, software bugs, or failed updates, making files inaccessible or even disappearing.
Power Surges: Sudden voltage spikes can harm the NAS device’s electronic components, resulting in data loss.
Network Failures: Problems with the NAS device’s network connectivity—such as faulty cables, routers, or switches—can restrict access to stored files or cause data loss.
Drive Failures: Caused by issues like bad sectors, magnetic media degradation, or firmware problems, drive failures render the NAS device unreadable and inaccessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the NAS data recovery process take?
The duration of the NAS data recovery process can depend on several factors, such as the severity of data loss, the amount of data to be recovered, and the specific failure scenario. However, a standard data recovery process generally takes several days to weeks. In urgent cases, we offer expedited services to speed up recovery.
How do I recover lost files on my NAS?
If you have experienced data loss on your NAS device, the first step is to stop using it immediately to avoid further damage or overwriting of lost data. Then, contact a professional data recovery service like PITS Global to assess and retrieve your lost files. Do not attempt DIY recovery methods, which may cause permanent data loss.
Can I recover my data if my NAS device is physically damaged?
We possess vast expertise in data recovery from physically damaged NAS devices. Our state-of-the-art tools and techniques can effectively handle various physical damages, such as water damage, fire damage, or damage caused by drops or impacts.
Why is a NAS, not a backup?
A Network Attached Storage (NAS) primarily keeps and transfers files over a network. However, it’s important to note that a NAS should not be considered a substitute for a backup solution. While it offers convenience and accessibility, it does not provide the same protection against data loss.
Regularly backing up your valuable data is crucial to protect it from hardware failures, accidental deletions, or other unexpected issues—store backups on an external device or in the cloud for added security.
Is there any way to prevent NAS data loss?
You can take various steps to avoid losing NAS data, including performing regular backups, utilising uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to defend against power surges, and investing in high-quality network devices. A reliable data recovery service is also crucial for unforeseen data loss situations.
