PROBLEMS WITH A NAS, SAN, OR DAS?
NAS, SAN, or DAS devices can fail for a variety of reasons. A hard drive failure can render a NAS, DAS, or SAN inaccessible. Although they are often configured with RAID 5 redundant systems, other configurations can cause the system to crash. Other times, an internal operating system failure or a problem with surface degradation on one or more of the disks can result in data loss on a NAS, DAS, or SAN device.TIPS TO AVOID LOSING DATA
A NAS, SAN or DAS device is a compact box consisting of several hard disks that are connected via a network cable to the system, hence the common name network hard disk.
If you have problems with the NAS, SAN or DAS system, it does not work or you cannot access the data, our recommendation is to disconnect it and contact a specialized data recovery service.
If you tamper with the broken device or try to recover the data with a program without success, you could complicate and make the process of recovering the information stored on the NAS, SAN or DAS more costly. Even to the point of making it unrecoverable.
To avoid further damage to the device:
Turn off the device as soon as possible. It will prevent further damage that may condition the recovery process.
Do not tamper with the device. Forcing screws, or opening it in an uncontrolled, dust-free environment can adversely affect the chances of recovery. Remember that the inner parts are very sensitive and delicate.
The use of recovery software in physical cases may permanently damage the device. Avoid using it in such cases.
Contact a data recovery laboratory. These are the professionals who have the tools and adequate training to be able to evaluate and carry out the data extraction and recovery processes.

Nacho Àngel Ravell11/06/2025 He tenido muy buena experiencia con Laby Recuperació. Mi disco duro se estropeó de repente y lo llevé allí. Hicieron una comprobación gratuita y sin compromiso, y aunque el daño era bastante grave, lograron recuperar una gran parte de la información (aceptando el presupuesto). Tienen unas condiciones para la reparación muy buenas, y desde el principio, me transmitieron mucha confianza, profesionalidad y transparencia. Realmente, si ellos no lo pueden recuperar, nadie puede. ¡Muy recomendables! Josep Martorell Juvanteny06/06/2025 Molt contents de l'experiència amb el servei de recuperació de dades de Laby. Se'ns va fer mal bé un disc dur extern amb moltes fotos importants per nosaltres, i tot i que són bastants diners hem pogut recuperar les fotos que teniem al disc dur. Manuel Palomino27/05/2025 He tenido que recuperar la información de un disco duro que creía muerto y han consegjido recuperar el 100% del contenido, el cual era importante para mí. El proceso de entrega y recogida ha sido fácil y ágil y la información muy correcta y detallada en todo momento, tanto por la intranet de la empresa como por teléfono. Para mí era importante recuperar el contenido del disco. El precio cada cual tendrá que valorarlo. Te facilitan un presupuesto que puedes aceptar o no. Contento NURIA CANO PEÑALVER24/05/2025 Gracias a Laby pudimos recuperar datos muy complicados de conseguir de un nas. No teníamos apenas esperanzas, así que después de un grandisimo trabajo por parte de laby, lo consiguieron y nos salvaron la vida. Esto fue en marzo y tenía pendiente escribir esta reseña tan bien merecida para ellos. Muchas gracias a todo el equipo de Laby Eduardo Exposito13/05/2025 Encantado con el buen servicio, celeridad y trato. 100% recomendable. Elena Shifflette10/05/2025 Superb performance from Laby! They were able to get my data (including my photo library) from a dead MacBook Pro laptop when all the other services in the city that I’d tried had failed. Well worth the price. A bit out of the way (find the shop in the basement) but they returned my disc to me via messenger free of charge which made everything easy. They answered my many questions and were very patient with me. Highly professional and highly recommended. Marco Alcácera08/05/2025 Recuperación perfecta Daniel Soler Mayoral06/05/2025 100% profesionales. Muy contento con ellos! Trabajo desde hace años y es un placer. Espero seguir manteniendo este trato con ellos :)
How much does data recovery from a NAS, SAN, or DAS device cost?

DATA RECOVERY PRICES FOR NAS, SAN, OR DAS HARD DRIVES
The price for recovering data from hard drives in NAS, SAN, or DAS devices will always depend on the damage suffered by the drives, together with the working hours and technical equipment required to carry out the recovery processes.
In any case, a prior diagnosis is necessary to detect the type of failure or combination of several failures. Below we detail the most common failures and the reference prices:

For logic or board faults:
- Problems accessing damaged partitions, bad sectors or surface degradation / Burned electronic boards / damaged by short circuits, incorrect voltages or burned components.
If it is a set of disks
Determining the price of data recovery of a NAS, SAN or DAS device is extremely complex. First of all, it is necessary to know whether the failure is physical or logical and how many disks make up the NAS, SAN or DAS.
Working with 4 disks is not the same as working with 16 disks at the same time and several of these disks are damaged. If it is physical, determine if the failure is of the cabinet itself or if the components (hard disks) have been damaged by use, degradation, defective, etc. In addition, it is necessary to know what type of RAID is used, since there are RAID 0, RAID 5 or RAID 6 among many others.
The complexity of the recovery is determined by imaging the damaged devices (performing the tasks in the lab and clean room) and reassembling the RAID parameters (block size, offsets, parity, etc.).
In many cases, the EXT 3 / 4 file system, XFS or VMFS (virtual systems) add an extra layer of difficulty. On VMFS systems, once the RAID is remounted, the VMFS container may also have to be remounted to display the contents of the virtual machines.
In a logical problem such as a virtual machine or Snapshot deletion, it is very important to stop the NAS, SAN or DAS to avoid overwriting information.
EXT 3 / 4 XFS or VMFS file systems are extremely complex to recover due to their design. They are extremely robust in terms of file corruption, but deleted data recovery processes are not always possible.
Likewise, it is important to note that if the set of disks are SSD the TRIM command can play a determining factor in the process of data non-recovery.

WHAT DEVICES CAN WE RECOVER AT LABY?

Data Recovery from Mechanical Hard
HDD disks have as main components the metal plates (disks), where the data is stored, and the heads that are responsible for accessing the information. The most common hard disk.
SSD Hard Drive Recovery
SSDs do not move, hence the name solid state. The information is stored in blocks and no headers are required to access it. It is much more efficient and faster than an HDD hard disk.

External Hard Disk Drive Recovery
External hard disks allow us to store outside the computer all the important information of which we want to make a backup copy. But one failure can cause us to lose all this data.
iPhone, iPad, iMac or MacBook
Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, iMac, MacBook, Mac Mini, etc. They are reliable, elegant, powerful and easy to use.

Laptop Hard Drive Data Recovery
On the laptop hard disk we store important work or home information. If a failure occurs, it can cause us to lose all this valuable personal data.

Data Recovery NAS, SAN and
A SAN, NAS or DAS disk is a compact enclosure consisting of several hard disks that are connected via a network cable to the system, hence the common name network hard disk.

Data recovery from RAID systems
RAID disks are a redundant group of independent disks. They can be HDD disks or SSD disks and together they form a storage system to distribute or replicate data.
Recovery of USB Flash Drives
Pen drives or USB flash drives consist of one or more memory blocks. They work in many cases like SSD devices (same Flash technology).
Memory Card Recovery
Memory cards are used to store information from devices such as cameras, cell phones or tablets. They differ in their storage capacity and read/write speed.
Ransomware or Virus Recovery
We recover data encrypted with viruses or ransomware. Ransomware is extortive software: its purpose is to prevent you from using your device until you have paid a ransom. Depending on the type of ransomware, either the entire operating system or only some files are encrypted.
Mobile and Tablet Recovery
In mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, recovery processes can be performed by analyzing the electronics of the damaged components or by performing the chip off process.
