I started the "Detect deleted data" process and let it run (took about 5 hours). The software detected the devices and built the RAID array flawlessly. I hooked the two SATA drives from the NAS up to an XP workstation I have, installed the software, and got to work. I decided I couldn't lose anything by trying so I bought the Raise Data Recovery for XFS product, and the RAID Access add-on (the two drives in the Buffalo were configured in a RAID 0 disk span). I was prepared to pay this but wanted to check online first to see what software was available, which is how I found your website. I spoke to one that said they could probably get the data off but it would cost between $1K and $5K, depending on what it took. Immediately I powered the NAS off and started looking for data recovery services. To lose this information would have been more devastating than I can even begin to explain. I immediately turned it off and when I switched it back on, my worst fears were confirmed.almost all the data on it had been deleted before I could turn it off!Īmong other things, on this NAS was every picture and video we've taken of our kids, and our lives in general, for the past 10 years. I started the "backup" job but could tell within a few seconds that something was terribly wrong by the way the Buffalo's hard drives were crunching away. Unfortunately, Buffalo's backup options are confusing and it wasn't clear that the option I chose would DELETE the data on the target first, before copying the data to it from the USB drive! Yesterday I had a "mishap" with my new Buffalo Linkstation Duo.I hooked an external USB drive to it, this drive had some additional info already on it that I needed to move back to the new NAS. I just wanted to pass along how fantastic of a product this is. I was able to recover 100%, or very close to 100%, of the data that was on the NAS before it got deleted.
