QNAP Data Recovery

If a QNAP system doesn’t power on, the data is still on the drives and can often be recovered. Start by checking the power supply and cables, and if the unit itself is dead, remove the drives and label them by slot order. With a single drive, you can usually mount it in Linux and copy the files directly. For RAID setups, QNAP uses mdadm with LVM, so connecting the drives to a Linux system and scanning with mdadm can rebuild the array and make the data accessible. If the RAID doesn’t assemble on its own, NAS recovery software like R-Studio, UFS Explorer, ReclaiMe, or Stellar Data Recovery Technician can help reconstruct the volume and recover files. It’s a good idea to clone the drives before working on them, and if a drive is physically damaged, stop attempting recovery and use a professional service.
