CrystalDiskMark is used for a quick performance overview. That is a bad idea indeed, formatting anything which still has data on it that you want back.Our evaluation routine for hard-drive based direct-attached storage devices borrows heavily from the testing methodology for flash-based direct-attached storage devices. Or would i be required to format it before i could get it to work, meaning the cloud device wouldn’t recognize it after i plug it back in? NAS inside uses Linux, and Linux file structures are not compatible with Windows. Windows NAS recovery software, including, obviously, Home NAS Recovery, will understand this file structure.

If not, does the WD My Cloud work with a file structure my windows rig will understand, so i can pull the HD out of the cloud device and plug it into my pc and do a recovery that way? For a single disk, or two disks for that matter, I have a free option of my own, you know, at least for a limited time.

For any other Linux filesystem, not likely. for a single disk and no RAID, they will actually work if you connect the disk locally if you have multiple disks (with RAID), the list will shorted but still there is a choice.įreeware… well, for EXT filesystem you may find some if you search real good. Is there freeware out there, that can scan and recover lost files on a NAS disk? I can’t find any working free alternatives for NAS drives, so i’m asking here. I can’t use regular file recovery programs because they only work on local drives. So i’ve got about 1.7TB of files i want to recover on my cloud, which is proving to be problematic. The failures associated with firmware reflashes do not usually much damage. Single disk, most any data recovery software, starting obviously with Home NAS Recovery, should give you data back in no time.

Anyhow, this way or other, it is now broken behind the standard driver capabilities. Filesystem upgrades with new firmware happen, but that’s more of an exception. I’m not quite sure how this happens, because firmware upgrades do not routinely do massive changes.

Gparted is the partition editor, not the data recovery software really.įirmware updates on a NAS can sometime screw up the partitions and/or RAIDs big time. So the problem does not look like Ubuntu’s fault.

And while Linux folk can sometimes lag behind the times, they usually keep up with trends in storage. The post is dated sometime 2012, and GPT was hardly new even back then. Attempting to do that under Windows 7 64Bit ĭownloaded and installed UBUNTU 64Bit and … cannot be mounted, … something about a “bad block” … Gparted … shows clearly that there is data on the partition and that is EXT4 as format, but does not allow any data recovery when you try to do an “Attempt Data Restore” … the hard drive has also a specific partitioning, this new GPT used to replace the old MBR and its limitations over 2TB. I the Firmware to the last version … my NAS could not be seen/found on the network anymore. … help me recover the data I had on a “TWO MONTH OLD MY BOOK LIVE”.
