ReadyNAS 314 - a year of hell and now lost 10years of data!
I bought a ReadyNAS 314 when they were new in the market back in April 2013. I bought it partly because I wanted to safeguard my increasing data storage with redundancy in case of disk failure, and al...
In other word you do what I did many times when a CD didn't play well anymore, you use a player that is less picky and you burn it again to a new CD, except that here you use two bad CD to make one good.
Raid is under the BTRFS level so it doesn't matter if they can rebuild the raid and clone it to 4 good disks that would mount on a linux box it could do the trick without any problem. BTRFS is a mainstream filesystem now.That said if they try to recover at filesystem level like easy recovery pro and that kind of stuff there may be some problems but that's not something that costs 1000£, they ought to do better than that.
1000£ for 16Tb I agree is not that much but still it depends of the data and context, for a consumer it's a great deal, for an enterprise that's nearly nothing. That said 4 or 5 years ago I heard someone say that recovery in white room (translated form french so not sure of the word but a sterilised room where they tear the disks appart to read data) it was 100€/Gb.
Rebuilding a ray6 array with new disks and installing the system is merely 1 hour work (and many hours waiting), that's worth less than 200€, most will do it for 100€. I believe your price was already friendly. I think I read somewhere than 2 out of 3 enterprises that lost their data closed within two years, even 10K€ that's cheap in that case. That said for a normal person that just not possible to pay that much.
