Case Overview :

A 3-year-old Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB NAS HDD failed in Raipur while serving a RAID5 array used by offices across Telibandha, Shankar Nagar, and Pandri. The disk hosted 16.8TB of shared design assets, ERP exports, and departmental archives and dropped during a parity check, pushing the pool to a critical state. Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB NAS HDD Recovery in Raipur was initiated with parity-aware procedures and zero-risk onboarding via the No Data No Charge Policy.

  • Brand: Seagate IronWolf Pro
  • Capacity: 20TB
  • Data Size: 16.8TB
  • Success Rate: 100%

Problem Description

Teams first noticed slow SMB responses and “degraded array” warnings on Shankar Nagar workstations. Minutes later, the NAS reported the member offline, with retries causing intermittent clicks. Forced rebuild attempts threatened parity disorder across surviving members. With ERP closings pending and brand libraries inaccessible, the operation needed a controlled member recovery without contaminating the array.

Understanding the Challenge

Large-capacity NAS drives combine dense platters with constant vibrations that accelerate head wear and firmware drift. In degraded arrays, unsafe rebuilds or hot swaps can propagate parity mismatches that corrupt otherwise healthy disks. Recovery requires donor head replacement, firmware stabilization, head map tuning, sector-consistent imaging, and a virtual RAID assembly that validates stripe order before any extraction.

Data Recovery

In a Class 100 clean-room, donor heads matched to the exact microcode were installed and firmware adaptives calibrated. Imaging cloned stable bands first, logging marginal tracks for adaptive retries under temperature control. A virtual RAID5 was assembled from the cloned member and healthy disks; stripe order and parity were verified. Extraction prioritized ERP exports, project libraries, and shared archives; integrity checks confirmed mountable, consistent datasets.

Outcome of Data Retrieval

All 16.8TB was restored with folder structures, permissions, and timestamps intact. Telibandha and Pandri teams validated ERP closes and reopened design libraries without rework. A preventive posture—hot spare provisioning, quarterly drive rotation, and SMART/predictive monitoring—was implemented to reduce future downtime risks across Raipur offices.

Conclusion:
Degraded arrays are recoverable when handled methodically. Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB NAS HDD Recovery in Raipur proved parity-aware imaging and virtual assembly prevent collateral corruption and preserve business continuity.

Call To Action

If a NAS member drops in Raipur, Telibandha, or Shankar Nagar, stop rebuilds and contact DataCare Labs for RAID-safe recovery under the No Data No Charge Policy.
