We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hi my 6TB WD RED NAS Drive Failure After 2 years Warranty (alien.top)

I trust the 2 years old drive isn't failure. But it did. What can i do. It's extremely high price in Turkey but my data is much more important.

And I want to ask any NAS Drive can use like consumer disk? Because I'm using like consumer drive.

How to take data back. Anyone know that.

Every drive can fail at any moment. Even a brand new one. It is just a bit less likely than having a decade old drive fail.

If you care about your data make sure you have backups. 321rule.

Yes, you can use a "NAS" drive pretty much like any normal drive. This is an SMR drive so not even a NAS drive to begin with.

If you do not have backups pay a professional to recover it. Yes, this is wildly expensive but tinkering yourself can make recovery even more expensive or outright impossible.
