In this video I show you how I hooked up the drives from my Synology CS407 NAS server to recover the data from a crashed volume. This assumes that you have a raid 5 array and have 3 functioning drives.

  1. The Spare does no good when the volume fails. I am currently in the same position. I have a 5 Disk Raid with one Disk Failure fault. Volume Crashed. Synology cannot restore the crashed Volume. The Drives are in good condition. The Volume crashed after a power failure.
  2. In this instance it was running raid 5, but a two of the drives crashed breaking the raid 5 array before could be repaired by replacing the 4th drive and rebuilding the array.
  3. wouldn't be better use raid 5 with spare?? so you would just remove the fault disk and insert the new one... "in my opinion" there is no point use raid if you cannot hotswap disks..
  4. I am not sure which raid you are running. I'd ask support first. Does you have the network recycle bin turned on? If so then you can access the Recycle folder located in the folder of the files you deleted. I don't think using Runtime will recover the deleted files. There are a few programs out the to recover delete files. Not sure of the names, but I think that is the route you have to go. You can try pcrecovery or panda recovery.
