My old QNAP NAS device died on me and corrupted the harddrives in the process. As a result, the new QNAP device I've bought won't load the these drives.

A data recovery company is now working on my drives, and their services cost 3x the new device price.

Muh personal cloud. Muh sovereignty.

Oh my gosh!! This is terrifying 😖

Any idea what led to the device corrupting the disks?

Power outages. Even though I had a UPS.

That’s absolutely wild. Did you leave it powered on 24/7?

Yuri Yerofeyev 1y ago

Yes, of course, that's what it's for.

For sure! Just personally, I only keep data online 24/7 that I have backed up in 3 places, or is not mission critical

Make sure to implement a 3-2-1 backup plan for the new nas 💪

I'll read about it!

Easiest to begin with would be to get an external hdd leave it plugged into the nas and let it run automated backups.
