  • u/mrqwest, No (answer to your question in the title of your post, that ibased on the picture you submitted with your post).

    Am I SOL in terms of data retrieval?

    as other redditor already suggested, place your question in the r/datarecovery subreddit.

    Data recovery is definitely possible, depends on your budget and level condition of the drive --read your own comment that you tried to ‘repair’ it… sometimes that creates more problems than solutions… in that case you’ll need a proffessional data recovery service, which again, depending on your budget and how valuable that data in the drive is to you (you never had a backup of that data?), then it will depend how you can go about recovering the data (or as much as possible) from the drive itself.

    If you want to go the data recovery professional service router, then you’ll be best doing a google search in the area where you live, get in contact and go from there.


  • u/Stt022, man, I’m sorry for your (almost) loss… (though you have not yet killed the NAS)

    For the past 15+ or so years (about… plus minus a year or so), I modified my Home network to have all devices completly off… that was NASes, Switches, PCs, Home Server(s) (had a few at home), home sound system, everything off.

    That change + (back then) I swtiched every single light bulb to LEDs…

    That translated to almost 70% reduction in my energy comsumption…

    Seeing that change on my monthly bill was nice… and has kept every since.

    You could look into just shutting the devices down and only turning them on, on a need-to-use basis… you then get to keep your NAS, reduce your energy costs and save some doe.

    Let me know what you think (or if there are additional considerations to think about)
