Why can’t ordinary software tools restore files from RAID?

Conventional hard disks keep user’s data by writing it to their surface in a consecutive way, and this is how an entire file is stored on a single hard disk. However, when data is written to a RAID system, a file is divided into several parts. Then these parts are written consecutively to all hard disks within such array. The size of such parts may range from 2 KB to 2 MB, so each file is stored on several hard disks at the same time.

Such approach helps to speed up read and write operations, and it is evident that saving two parts of a file having the size of 1 GB to two hard disks simultaneously is much faster than saving the same 1 GB of data to one hard disk. However, this peculiarity makes file recovery more complicated.

Various RAID levels store information in different ways. Additionally, manufacturers like Buffalo also introduce some modifications to this process, and that is why data can be written to hard disk in a wide variety of ways.

How can user training or education help in minimizing data loss incidents on NAS Buffalo TeraStation TS5810DN6408 devices?

User training or education can help in minimizing data loss incidents on NAS Buffalo TeraStation TS5810DN6408 devices in the following ways:

  1. Understanding data backup: Educating users about the importance of regular data backups and how to perform them on the TeraStation device can help prevent data loss incidents. Users should be trained on the different backup methods available, such as scheduled backups or real-time replication, and how to configure them properly.
  2. Security best practices: Users should be educated about security best practices to protect the NAS device from unauthorized access or attacks. This includes creating strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and regularly updating the firmware and security patches.
  3. User access management: Training users on proper user access management can prevent accidental data loss or unauthorized modifications. Users should be educated on creating different user accounts with appropriate access privileges and ensuring that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized individuals.
  4. RAID configuration and maintenance: Users should be trained on the various RAID configurations available on the TeraStation device and how to choose the appropriate one for their data storage needs. Additionally, they should understand the importance of regularly monitoring the RAID status and performing necessary maintenance tasks like replacing failed drives promptly.
  5. Troubleshooting and support: Providing users with training on basic troubleshooting techniques and how to seek support from Buffalo or IT professionals can help resolve issues before they escalate into data loss incidents. Users should be educated on common error messages, how to interpret them, and when to seek assistance.

Overall, user training and education play a crucial role in minimizing data loss incidents by promoting responsible data management practices, security awareness, and ensuring users are equipped with the necessary knowledge to handle the TeraStation device effectively.

How to take hard disks out of the NAS and connect them to a PC?

Although NAS TeraStation TS5810DN6408 can be accessed over the network, you still need to take the hard disks out of the storage device and connect them to a Windows computer. Only in this case will the software be able to scan them properly. Here is what you should do:

  1. Turn off the storage and disconnect it from the power supply.

    WARNING! Before you start taking hard disks out of your NAS device, read the manual carefully. Incorrect actions may damage your network-attached storage and/or the hard disks within the RAID system.

  2. Take the hard disks out of the NAS one by one, carefully removing them from their slots. Remember that the disks are extremely vulnerable: hitting or dropping them may result in serious physical damage.

  3. Make sure to mark each hard disk in accordance with how they were installed inside the NAS.

  4. Remove the hard disks and connect them to the computer. In this video, we have explored what ports are used to connect hard disks, and what to do if there are not enough ports or connectors.

Restoring data with Hetman RAID Recovery

Hetman Raid Recovery

This program recovers data from damaged RAID arrays and is fully compatible with Buffalo TeraStation TS5810DN6408. The hard disks that make up the RAID contain technical information about the algorithm used to save files. When launched, Hetman RAID Recovery reads this information and puts the damaged array together. Then you can open the disk and save your files. Also, you can recover the files accidentally deleted from the network drive.

TeraStation TS5810DN6408 has 4 HDD slots, and it supports the following array types:

  • RAID 0;
  • RAID 1;
  • RAID 5;
  • RAID 6;
  • RAID 50;
  • RAID 60;
  • JBOD;

Safe recovery from disk images

This utility lets you save an entire copy of the disk to file and then work with this image instead of the actual disk. Such feature helps to protect data on the disk from:

  • Overwriting during the recovery process;
  • Loss resulting from bad sectors;
  • User mistakes.

To create an image, do the following:

  1. Make sure that you have enough free space to save the image. The image file size usually equals the disk size.

  2. Select the disk in the main window, and choose from the menu ToolsSave Disk. You can select multiple disks to be saved.

  3. When the image creation wizard starts, you can choose to save the entire disk or select only a part of it. Specify the parameters and click Next.

Where are user’s files stored?

The Buffalo TeraStation TS5810DN6408 network-attached storage keeps OS Linux operating system files on a separate RAID 1 (mirrored) array. Usually, all NAS systems create several volumes on every hard disk, and the first of them takes up to 2 Gb of space. This is where operating system files are stored. Other volumes are united into a RAID array where user’s data is written.
