How to extract data from hard disks after the NAS device broke down
Up

My Synology DS415+ NAS don’t turn on, it may be out of order.
There is no way to access the files by just connecting the disks to the computer. I can’t try replacing the device itself – there is no similar device available.
How to extract data from hard disks after the NAS device broke down, from an inoperable disk array? (I hope that all drives are working and my data is still there)
Is there any well-tested data recovery tools for NAS solutions?

If your Synology DS415+ NAS doesn’t turn on and you can’t replace the device, it is still possible to recover your data by accessing the drives outside the NAS. Since Synology uses the EXT4 file system and RAID (usually SHR or RAID 5), simply connecting the drives to a Windows PC won’t work.
One option is to connect all drives to a Linux computer or use a Linux live USB. Then use Linux RAID tools like mdadm to assemble the RAID array. If this works, you can mount the volume and copy your data.
If that method is not feasible or doesn’t work, specialized NAS recovery software such as R-Studio, UFS Explorer RAID Recovery, or ReclaiMe can reconstruct Synology RAID arrays and recover files. These require connecting the drives to a PC and running the recovery software.
If the data is critical or recovery attempts fail, professional NAS data recovery services can help. They have the tools and experience needed for Synology RAID and EXT4 file systems.
Do not format or modify the drives, and keep the disk order the same as in the original NAS.
