What is NAS?
A storage device connected to a network that allows storage and retrieval of data from a central location for authorized network users and varied clients.
NAS devices are flexible and scale out; this breadth is  increased by the user’s
increased need for additional storage space. It is a fast and low-cost vehicle that offers all the usual storage features in common local and Internet-connected devices, with advantages that enable the user to a secured fully control data,  simultaneously and quickly.
NAS is an easy to operate system, even by non-IT users, at a lower cost, with easy data backups, as well as easy access and control, especially as it is a distinct system in centralizing data storage.
With the NAS system, data is continuously accessible, making it easier for
employees to cooperate and respond to customers in a timely manner and
immediately follow up on sales or other problems because the information is in ne place and everywhere at the same time. This allows employees to work anywhere and at any time.

NAS failure: What causes it?
NAS systems use RAID modules to store data; consequently, these systems are subject to typical failures in RAID modules, where data loss cannot be ruled out, and these are some of the possible causes of NAS failure:
Power outrage: Power failure and voltage fluctuations may lead to NAS failure.
Power loss or fluctuation can prevent the disk from integrating to RAID.
User error: such as inadvertent deletion of files and folders which can result in loss of both NAS or RAID data.
Overheating: Overheating storage units can cause NAS failure.
Manual faults: When one of the drives fail, it puts a burden on the remaining rives for processing. This sometimes causes NAS failure.
Defective NAS controllers: damaged firmware, operating systems errors,
incomplete configuration, etc., can lead to NAS errors.
In addition to natural disasters such as fires or water damage.

Most NAS devices use different types of “smart” RAIDs to withstand errors and store data. Many NAS device manufacturers offer their RAID management systems, which allow users to integrate hard drives from different brands into complex RAID systems, without much knowledge of RAID technology itself. This creates additional data recovery difficulties, as it requires an individual approach to drive matrices from various manufacturers.

Emergency Data Recovery Tips
✓  If you hear unusual noises, you should shut down the system immediately.
✓ Validate your backup before replacing or updating hardware or software.
✓ Do not use RAID recovery software if there is a possibility of a hardware
failure.
✓ Do not defragment drives that may be damaged.
✓ Do not rebuild and/or reinstall the original system. Do not restore a backup to the same volume/drives.

What will you get from Osool?
1. Osool engineers have vast knowledge of all storage technologies
and can successfully recover data from the oldest to the latest NAS
configurations. We support all brands, media formats and operating
systems.
2. Your data is sensitive; therefore, you should not try to recover data
on your own as you may end up losing it, which leads to a huge
financial damage.
3. With specially developed data collection tools and techniques, our experts can quickly recover your lost data on any system. This applies to all kinds of NAS servers and RAID levels, all RAID controllers, all motors regardless of whether it is HDD or SSD and regardless of manufacturer. Osool team works directly with most manufacturers to achieve the best possible recovery results.
4. In case of large capacity disks (often tens of terabytes), our team will assess the status of each drive in order to choose the best ways to create sectoral copies. Making full copies is a mandatory step, although sometimes it does not seem important and some consider it a process that only delays the data recovery procedure. Services in a nutshell As a leader in data recovery, we can address mechanical, electronic and software failures, quickly return your files to the media of your choice, and our teams have experience in almost all failure scenarios and hardware configurations.
Anytime Updates™: Our customer service team can respond to your requests within 24 hours. We provide year-round NAS data recovery services, and our periodic reports give you accurate access to important status information.
Our services are created with unique components and configurations depending on the manufacturer, our engineers have excellent knowledge and technical expertise, allowing us to achieve high success rates.
We follow advanced protocols from the moment NAS arrives at our lab, and our methods are consistent with the procedures established by the U.S. Department of Defense. Non-disclosure agreements and other legal documents are available upon request.
