[SOLVED] NAS problems

[dillonh_wy]

This is catastrophic and I am freaking out, Removed.

I had a 10-second power outage last night, and now my Seagate Business Storage 4TB NAS which contains my entire life and business’ worth of every single imaginable thing seems to have big problems. The fans are running at a super high RPM, and I can’t access my share of the storage. When I go to the “Network” page in Windows Explorer, I can see the physical NAS (now starting with BA- although it used to have the name I gave it) and when I click on it it directs me to the “Disc Manager” and asks me to “Clean and Install” as if setting it up for the first time. I’ve turned it on and off again, and reset my router. I’m not super Networking savvy but I’d be happy to do my best to answer any questions, please please help

Your drive may be toast.

I say if this information is that important to you, I would skip the free data recovery options and go straight to professional data recovery. You will have to pay the price for it though.

I hope others have better opinions.

First lesson, EVERY drive fails at some point. Never have a single copy of your "entire life and business". If you recover your data, you need to implement an automated backup strategy that creates three copies (including one off-site) of your critical data.
