What Is a Netgear NAS Device

As a well-known supplier of storage devices, Netgear provides a variety of network-attached storage systems for both individual and business users. A network-attached storage device, or NAS device, is a data storage device that connects to and is accessed over a network rather than being directly connected to a computer. Its charm lies in that it allows multiple individuals and PCs to deal with the files and documents on it simultaneously.

By backing up all of your files to a Netgear NAS device, you can create a reliable cloud storage system for your home or company. Two lines of networked storage devices are provided under its ReadyNAS series. Desktop-class NAS towers are for corporate and home users, while the rackmount models are for large organizations that require highly scaled NAS solutions and rich functionality. 

Why Does My Netgear NAS Data Get Lost

The Netgear NAS is a powerful network-attached storage system that has been widely used by many users. But it can be very annoying when we find that files and documents stored in it get lost, especially those important ones. There are some common factors that may cause Netgear NAS data to be lost in our daily use.

1. Human's Mistake

When you are using the Netgear ReadyNAS device, you are very likely to cause NAS data loss by accident deletion of important files and documents, hard drive initialization, and inappropriate installation. In addition, when you are trying to change the current partition for another one with a larger storage capability, the data stored on the previous disk will also be possibly lost.

2. Power Failure

Problems like power failure, voltage fluctuations as well as overvoltage are very likely to cause NAS failure. As a result, the data stored in the NAS device will also get lost. 

3. Failure of the NAS device 

The failure of the NAS device itself is also one of the factors that may cause Netgear ReadyNAS data to be lost. Virus infection, systems breakdown, logical failure of the NAS system, even RAID failures, including the overheating of the RAID hard drive and incorrect RAID setup, are likely to cause data loss.

4. Firmware Upgrades

Users tend to upgrade firms to address NAS issues. However, this could also lead to complete data loss if you are not familiar with the right way of doing it.
