Supported RAID Configurations
We support all RAID levels used in Netgear NAS systems, including:
- RAID 0 – Striped volumes for speed, no redundancy
- RAID 1 – Mirrored volumes for redundancy

- RAID 6 – Dual parity for higher fault tolerance
- RAID 10 – Mirrored and striped volumes
- X-RAID / X-RAID2 – Netgear’s proprietary auto-expanding RAID system
How We Recover Data from Netgear NAS Systems
1. Secure Disk Imaging
We begin by imaging each disk in the NAS using hardware-level tools to prevent further degradation. Bad sectors are handled with adaptive read retries.
2. RAID Reconstruction
Using metadata, controller logs, and forensic RAID mapping, we virtually rebuild the RAID array in our secure lab environment—without using the original NAS hardware.
3. File System Repair
We access and repair file system structures such as EXT3, EXT4, BTRFS or XFS, depending on the Netgear NAS setup. Even corrupted superblocks or missing inodes can be recovered.
4. Data Extraction & Verification
Files are extracted from the repaired virtual volume, retaining original folder structures. Where necessary, we use file carving to retrieve deleted or damaged data.
5. Secure Delivery
Recovered data is returned on an encrypted external drive for maximum security, with optional verification reports if required by corporate or legal standards.
