Synology DiskStation and RackStation units hold irreplaceable data on SHR and btrfs volumes that fail in ways a single drive never does. We reconstruct crashed and degraded Synology volumes, priced per case after a free evaluation.
2- to 12-bay systems such as the DS220+, DS920+, and DS1821+.
RackStation (RS)
Rack-mounted business NAS.
Known Synology failure patterns
Widely reported, publicly documented issues we see in Synology recoveries. Most units never have these problems — but if yours does, here’s what it means for your data.
SHR and Btrfs volumes
Synology Hybrid RAID layers Linux md-RAID and LVM, often under a Btrfs file system. Recovery means reassembling every layer in the right order.
"Volume crashed" after a failed rebuild
A second drive failing during a rebuild is the most common way a degraded Synology volume becomes a crashed one. Power down rather than retrying the repair.

Synology recovery — common questions
How much does Synology data recovery cost?+
Synology NAS cases are quoted per job after a free evaluation — the price depends on the model, the RAID configuration, and the failure. There's no charge for the evaluation, and you pay nothing unless we recover your data.
My Synology volume crashed — is the data still there?+
Usually, yes. A crashed or degraded volume most often means the array or file system needs reconstructing, while the underlying data is intact. Don't reset, recreate the volume, or force a rebuild — power it down and let us evaluate it.
Should I try to rebuild the Synology array myself?+
We'd advise against it. Rebuilding a degraded array stresses every drive and can trigger a second failure, and re-initializing can wipe the metadata needed to recover your data. Note the drive order, power it down, and send it for evaluation.
How do I send in a Synology NAS?+
Start online for a free evaluation and we'll arrange secure shipping. We assess the unit in our cleanroom, you approve a fixed quote before any work, and you only pay on a successful recovery.
