Since most NAS devices use two or more drives, expect a longer wait time than if you were to scan a single drive. As Disk Drill finds files, you can preview them in real-time using the <b>Review found items<\/b> button. If all of the files you need are found already, you can proceed to the next step while the scan continues.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"steps-new__vertical-col-6 style2\"><img class=\"steps-new__vertical-col-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/scan-the-nas-for-lost-data.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/scan-the-nas-for-lost-data.jpg 1x, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/scan-the-nas-for-lost-data@2x.jpg 2x\" width=\"495\" data-height=\"268\" alt=\"Scan the NAS for Lost Data\" title=\"Scan the NAS for Lost Data\" \/><\/div>            <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n        \n        <div  class=\"steps-new__vertical-step-wrapper \">\n            <div class=\"steps-new__vertical-cols-wrapper\">\n                <div class=\"steps-new__vertical-col-6\" style=\"padding-right: 50px\">\n                                            <div class=\"methods__col-grey-label\">\n                            Step 5                        <\/div>\n                    <h3 class=\"h3 steps-new__vertical-title\">Preview and Recover Files<\/h3>                    <div class=\"steps-new__vertical-description\">\n                        <p>If you want to recover all data from the NAS drive, click the <b>Recover all<\/b> button.

If connected directly to your PC, Windows will ask you to initialize or format the NAS disks because they have a corrupted or incompatible file system. Initializing or formatting will only hinder your chances of data recovery, overwriting important metadata. Instead, use data recovery software to scan the NAS or create a byte-to-byte backup of the drive and scan that instead.<\/p>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab\" id=\"question-fccd608\">\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-heading\">\n                <h3 class=\"block-FAQ__tab-title\">\n                    Can I just access one drive from a RAID1 mirror NAS setup to get my files?                <\/h3>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-icon\">\n                    <svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\"\n                         viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\"\n                         version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                         xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                        <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                            <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__content\">\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__content-body\">\n                    <p>Yes.

the data.\r\nIt works!\r\nI had a 2 TB internal drive full of data to recover from a broken LG-NAS drive that was password locked. Windows wouldn't open it.\r\nDisk Drill free showed me the files are there, so I bought the licence.\r\nDisk Drill allowed me to recover the data with file names intact. It took a couple of days, but it worked well. Great support by David of Cleverfiles.com.\r\nI am now recovering files from a Mac external drive to recover to my Windows PC.\r\nDisk Drill IS working on this now, whereas Windows doesnt even see the drive.\r\nImpressed and glad I bought Disk Drill.<\/blockquote>                <div class=\"testimonials__card-description-read-more\">\n                    <span>Read more<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n                                    <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                                <div class=\"testimonials__card\">\n                            <div class=\"testimonials__card-inner\">\n                                        <div class=\"testimonials__card-header\">\n                            <img class=\"testimonials__card-icon\"\n                     width=\"40\"\n                     height=\"40\"\n                     src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/themes\/cleverfiles\/images\/avatarBlank1.jpg\"\n                     title=\"MacPowerUser\"\n                     alt=\"MacPowerUser\"\n                     srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/themes\/cleverfiles\/images\/avatarBlank1.jpg, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/themes\/cleverfiles\/images\/avatarBlank1@2x.jpg 2x\"\n                >\n\n                        <cite><a class=\"testimonials__card-name\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"MacPowerUser\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/reviews\/60e20eadf9f48702a8905cb6\">MacPowerUser<\/a><\/cite>            <div class=\"testimonials__card-stars\">\n                                    <i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i>\n                                    <i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i>\n                                    <i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i>\n                                    <i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i>\n                                    <i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"testimonials__card-description\">\n                <blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/reviews\/60e20eadf9f48702a8905cb6\">Disk Drill is an invaluable product.
