A two‑bay NAS near Telibandha and Shankar Nagar, Raipur, flagged one member as failed and shares slowed for users around Devendra Nagar and Pandri. The pool showed degraded after a restart, and a few folders went read‑only, which halted routine work. The office wanted a simple plan that preserved share names and mapped paths on return. DataCare Labs proposed a mirror‑safe sequence: stabilize the failed disk, produce a clean sector clone, assemble a virtual mirror, and verify paths and permissions on test hosts before exporting to new media.

• Brand: Toshiba N300
• Capacity: 12TB
• Data Size: 9TB
• Success Rate: 100%

Timeouts and retries escalated into a failed member alert, and the partner disk showed rising read delays. A forced rebuild risked spreading errors to the healthy member and increasing downtime. The team paused changes and asked for short, plain updates and a familiar layout at return. They wanted mapped paths and names unchanged so staff could reconnect quickly without new instructions or rework.

With mirrors and small arrays, rushed rebuilds can push corruption into good members. The safer route is to stabilize mechanics, correct addressing, and create a clean, sector‑consistent clone of the failed disk. Reading data from a virtual mirror then preserves structures and permissions while avoiding writes to the healthy disk, keeping the handover simple for busy teams.

DataCare Labs installed matching donor heads in a Class 100 clean‑room, repaired translator settings, and imaged stable regions first using short, gentle passes. Weak tracks were revisited with cooling intervals to limit heat and stress. With a consistent clone ready, engineers built a virtual mirror to access shares safely. Paths and ACLs were validated on test hosts; sample files opened normally before packaging.

A total of 9TB was recovered, including departmental shares, templates, and backup sets. Folders mounted cleanly, mapped paths stayed consistent, and permissions behaved correctly. A brief checklist explained the structure and practical backup habits. The office resumed work the same day with minimal disruption and no renaming or remapping.

Conclusion:
A measured, member‑safe plan protects both data and time. With careful mechanics and parity‑aware steps, DataCare Labs returned a familiar environment ready to use immediately—without risking the healthy disk during a stressful window.

If a NAS in Raipur shows a failed member or degraded pool, pause rebuilds and contact DataCare Labs. No Data No Charge keeps each step safe and straightforward.
