TEAC has been a major technology company since it opened its doors in 1953, and although much of their work has been concentrated in audio and consumer electronics, they've successfully released several NAS appliances that are based on a simple, easy-to-use design.
NAS appliances from TEAC are typically low-capacity (in comparison with the large servers offered by some competitors) and offer an easy way for homes and offices to safely store and access data on a network.
Data recovery services are available on all TEAC data storage products, and in general, recoveries on TEAC NAS devices are both successful and comparatively inexpensive.
Data Recovery Procedures for TEAC NAS Devices
Developing a data recovery process for a TEAC storage device requires intricate knowledge of how the device functions and how it failed. We begin by carefully fevaluating each case in order to decide which method of data recovery will be most successful.
In cases of hard drive failure, failed drives must be recovered in a class 100 clean room. This prevents contamination to hard drive components that could ruin the platters of a drive. Damaged drives are repaired to the point at which a clone can be made of all existing data, and further recovery procedures will only use this clone of your information. This prevents the possibility of any damage to your hard drives during recovery.
Once clones are complete, multi-drive NAS devices are reconstructed virtually in-lab using special software. Engineers can then clear up configuration problems and corruption that prevented the data from being accessible. This results in a full recovery of all of the data on the TEAC NAS, and the recovered information is transferred to return media and sent back to you.
The entire process rarely takes more than 3-7 days (depending on the type of NAS, the failure scenario, and the number of hard drives involved), and can be expedited using our priority and emergency services. As with all of our data recovery processes, there is no charge if the data that you need is unable to be recovered.
Potential Data Loss Symptoms for TEAC NAS Devices
As TEAC NAS devices interface through a proprietary web-based display, the first indication of data loss will probably be missing folders or a complete inability to interact with your device. The web based display may list an error such as "Check Device Connections", or the on-unit LED may not be powered on, regardless of whether the device is actually connected to your computer.
TEAC NAS devices operate very noiselessly, so you may also be able to diagnose hard drive errors if you hear any excessive clicking or whirring noises. If it sounds like the device won't power on at all, this can be an indication of a faulty power supply or an outright failure of the TEAC NAS's electronics. A data recovery engineer will be able to guide you through a step-by-step process to determine whether the NAS requires data recovery.
Make note of any error messages that computers present when interacting with a TEAC NAS. "Device has been Disconnected" or "Data Corruption" errors can be especially valuable when determining the cause and extent of data loss.
TEAC Models Supported by DataRecovery.com
HD-35NAS - These simple NAS devices are one of TEAC's latest offerings, and have a single hard drive. They're typically treated as standard data recovery cases. Avoid turning on a failed HD-35NAS, especially if you hear unusual sounds from the device or if data corruption errors were displayed before failure.
TEAC Vendotto Series - Vendotto systems such as the TEAC NAS 160 are treated by server recovery professionals. Error messages are reported in the user logs, along with any important or unexpected events; for instance, hard drive failures, heating issues, and the like. As TEAC no longer manufactures Vendotto series NAS devices, we recommend contacting a data recovery expert immediately if you suspect data loss on a Vendotto or if you experience any abnormal operation.
TEAC NAS Microservers - We also provide data recovery on all TEAC NAS Microservers; typically, these connect via LAN to an existing server to provide more data storage. TEAC Microservers may not give typical error messages when failing, and instead simply become unresponsive. Speak to a data recovery engineer as soon as possible if your Microserver is not responding or if data corruption is preventing you from accessing certain files or folders.
Tips For Successful Data Recovery
When calling DataRecovery.com, gather as much information as possible about your TEAC device. It can be very helpful to have a list of important data, even if you're only able to provide a broad description (i.e. "picture files," "databases," etc). The more information that you can provide, the better the chances of a quick recovery.
Datarecovery.com leads the industry in low turnaround times and price quotes for NAS devices. For more information or to speak to a data recovery professional, contact us at 1.800.237.4200.
