In most instances, human mistakes become the reason for the lost QNAP NAS data. The Network Recycle Bin may keep unintentionally removed files for some time. However, this feature applies only to a set of supported protocols, such as Samba, AFP, FTP, and QNAP File Station. Apart from accidental deletion of files, shared folders, volumes or storage pools, users may mishandle the device, for instance, when replacing drives in the storage or changing the RAID type. Although QNAP NAS usually allows for non-destructive online expansion and RAID migration, such operations are still risky and may lead to severe corruption, for instance, when a wrong drive is taken out or further RAID rebuild is not performed correctly.

QNAP's NAS devices are designed to provide centralized storage, data backup, file sharing, and multimedia capabilities for homes, businesses, and organizations. These devices are essentially specialized computers that are optimized for data storage and networking functions. QNAP NAS units often run a customized version of Linux as their operating system and offer a variety of applications and services that can be installed to enhance their functionality, including file sharing, media streaming, virtualization, surveillance, and more.
What software and file-systems do QNAP NAS systems use:
QNAP NAS systems typically run an operating system developed by QNAP called QTS (QNAP Turbo NAS System). QTS is a Linux-based operating system designed specifically for QNAP NAS devices. It provides a user-friendly interface and a wide range of applications and features that cater to various storage, data management, and networking needs. Here are some key components and software features commonly found on QNAP NAS systems running QTS:
-
QNAP NAS systems use an operating system called QTS (QNAP Turbo NAS System). QTS offers a user-friendly interface with features such as file management through File Station, storage management with Storage Manager, and application installation from the App Center
-
It includes tools like Hybrid Backup Sync for backups, Qsirch for file searches, and Qsync for file synchronization. Virtualization Station and Container Station allow virtual machines and containerized applications. Surveillance Station manages IP cameras, and multimedia apps like Qmedia, Qmusic, and Qphoto handle media content. Security features, remote access, and regular updates are part of the software ecosystem, providing a comprehensive solution for data management and network services.
How is data organised on a QNAP NAS?
Data organization on a QNAP NAS (Network Attached Storage) is facilitated through the file system and directory structure. QNAP NAS devices typically use a Linux-based file system, most commonly EXT4, though some models might offer support for other file systems as well.
-
Volume Management: Volumes are logical partitions created on physical drives or RAID arrays. They can have different capacities and be formatted with file systems. You can have multiple volumes on a single NAS.
-
RAID and Storage Pools: If your QNAP NAS uses RAID configurations or storage pools, data can be organized across multiple physical drives for redundancy and performance. RAID levels (such as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, etc.) determine how data is distributed and protected across these drives.
-
Network Shares: Network protocols like SMB (Windows File Sharing) and NFS (Network File System) allow remote devices to access shared folders on the NAS. Network shares are often organized based on user needs and access rights.
-
Directories and Folders: Data is organized into directories (also known as folders) that act as containers for files and other directories. Each directory can contain files and subdirectories, creating a hierarchical structure.

WHAT IS A RAID AND WHY DO NAS SYSTEMS USE THESE
NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems can be built on various RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configurations to enhance data storage, reliability, and performance. RAID is a technology that combines multiple physical drives into a single logical unit, providing various levels of data redundancy and improved access speeds. A crucial step in RAID array recovery is knowing which RAID level are you using. The most common RAID configurations include:
RAID storage systems either use a software or a hardware controller to ensure the RAID arrays work together. A common reason behind RAID data loss is a corrupt or failing RAID controller. One telltale sign of this is data loss, even though all individual drives are in full working order.
QNAP NAS RAID Systems:
QNAP NAS systems offer a variety of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configurations to enhance data protection, performance, and storage capacity. RAID is a technology that involves combining multiple hard drives into a single logical unit to achieve different goals based on redundancy and performance. Here are some common RAID configurations available on QNAP NAS systems:
BREAKDOWN OF THE QNAP RAID SYSTEM:
-
RAID 0 (Striping): Data is striped across multiple drives without any redundancy. This configuration offers increased performance by allowing data to be read from and written to multiple drives simultaneously. However, if one drive fails, all data is lost.​
-
RAID 1 (Mirroring): Data is mirrored on two drives, providing redundancy. Each drive contains the same data, so if one drive fails, the other still contains the complete data. RAID 1 sacrifices storage capacity for data protection.
-
RAID 5 (Striping with Parity): Data is striped across multiple drives, and parity information is distributed across the drives. This provides redundancy and some performance improvement. If a single drive fails, the system can rebuild the lost data using the parity information from the remaining drives.
-
RAID 6 (Dual Parity): Similar to RAID 5, but with an additional level of redundancy. Two drives can fail simultaneously without data loss. RAID 6 is suitable for systems where data integrity is critical.
-
RAID 10 (RAID 1+0): This is a combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0. Data is mirrored (RAID 1) and then striped (RAID 0) across mirrored pairs. RAID 10 offers both high performance and data redundancy.
-
RAID 50 (RAID 5+0): Data is striped across RAID 5 arrays, and then these arrays are mirrored (RAID 0). RAID 50 combines the benefits of RAID 5 and RAID 0 for improved performance and redundancy.
-
RAID 60 (RAID 6+0): Similar to RAID 50 but with an additional level of redundancy. It offers the performance benefits of RAID 0 with the dual-parity redundancy of RAID 6.
QNAP NAS systems provide flexible RAID management through their operating system interface, allowing users to configure, monitor, and manage RAID arrays based on their specific needs. The choice of RAID configuration depends on factors such as the importance of data protection, performance requirements, and the number of available drive bays. It's important to note that RAID is not a substitute for regular backups; maintaining a backup strategy is still crucial to ensure data availability and protection against various types of data loss.
