Expert Data Recovery for Synology Devices
Your Synology Data, Our Expertise. Recovered with Precision.

Synology is a globally recognized leader in Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions, offering a wide array of devices that cater to diverse needs, from home users and small businesses to large enterprises. Their product lines, including DiskStation (desktop NAS), RackStation (rackmount NAS), and FlashStation (all-flash NAS), are celebrated for their intuitive DSM (DiskStation Manager) operating system, robust features, and reliable performance.
Despite their advanced data protection features like Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) and traditional RAID levels, Synology devices, like all storage systems, are susceptible to data loss. Whether it’s due to multiple drive failures, accidental volume deletion, DSM corruption, or physical damage, losing access to critical data on your Synology NAS can be devastating. At The RAID Specialist, we possess profound expertise and specialized proprietary tools developed specifically to recover your invaluable data from virtually any Synology device, regardless of the model, its RAID configuration (including Synology Hybrid RAID – SHR), or the complexity of the data loss incident.
Common Synology Data Loss Scenarios We Handle:
Synology NAS devices often employ complex RAID configurations, including their proprietary Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR), which presents unique challenges for data recovery. Our seasoned data recovery engineers are highly skilled in diagnosing and resolving a comprehensive array of issues impacting Synology storage, including:
- Multiple Drive Failures: When more drives fail than the RAID level (including SHR) can tolerate, leading to a degraded or crashed volume.
- RAID Corruption/Degradation: Issues with traditional RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, or Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) metadata, rendering the volume inaccessible.
- DSM (DiskStation Manager) Corruption: Problems with the Synology operating system preventing the NAS from booting, recognizing volumes, or managing data.
- Accidental Volume Deletion or Formatting: Unintentional removal of a storage volume or reformatting of drives within the Synology device.
- Accidental File Deletion: User error leading to the deletion of critical files or folders.
- Power Surge or Controller Failure: Electrical damage to the Synology unit’s mainboard, power supply, or internal storage controller.
- File System Corruption: Issues with the underlying file system (Btrfs, EXT4, EXT3) due to improper shutdowns, software bugs, or power fluctuations.
- Physical Drive Damage: Mechanical failures (e.g., head crashes) or electronic issues with individual hard drives or SSDs within the Synology NAS.
- Failed RAID Expansion or Migration: Data loss occurring during an attempt to expand storage capacity or migrate to a new Synology unit.
