Read about how to recover data from an SHR-2 or SHR array (Synology Hybrid RAID) on a Synology DS418play NAS in a Windows 11 environment. We will review different data loss scenarios: accidental deletion of files or folders, volume formatting, and corruption of the storage structure. You will learn how to act in case of NAS failure or failure of one or more drives, and how to access information if the RAID array becomes unavailable and network shares no longer appear. A separate scenario demonstrates recovering data from a virtual LUN created in DSM.

In this article we will examine how to recover data from a destroyed software RAID array assembled using Windows Storage Spaces on Windows Server 2025. We will also discuss the process of creating a RAID array using Disk Management, via Windows Storage Spaces and the Diskpart command-line utility. Most importantly — what to do if access to the disk array is lost or the RAID is damaged.

In this article we will examine how to recover data from a RAID 0, 1 or 5 array created on an Adaptec ASR-6405 controller on Linux. You will learn how to restore files deleted with Shift + Delete or after partition formatting. We will also review what to do if the controller fails, one of the array disks has failed, or the RAID configuration was accidentally changed.

In this article we will review the process of recovering data from a RAID 5 array on a Synology DS409 NAS in a macOS Sonoma 14.5 environment. We will cover cases of logical damage, including accidental deletion of files or folders and formatting of volumes. You will learn how to act if the NAS or an individual drive fails, and how to access data if a RAID disk was lost and network shares no longer appear. We also demonstrate how to recover information after deleting a virtual LUN disk in DiskStation Manager.
