Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices with higher and higher capacity are becoming more and more common with the cost of commercial and prosumer technology becoming more affordable. There are three fundamental issues making NAS recoveries complex.

1. NAS Hard Drives have a high incidence of severe hard drive failure because the systems are typically not monitored as closely as your desktop or laptop. With a computer you directly interact with such as your desktop or laptop, a performance issue, mechanical noise, or most other problems are noticed very quickly as you see the effect the issue is having on the system. Network Attached Storage devices tend to be placed in less conspicuous locations without direct interaction, leading to more time before a hard drive failure is detected.
2. NASs commonly use a proprietary operating system and hard drive format. Although the hard drives found in a NAS are the same as any other high-performance hard drive, the OS is typically a Linux variant, and often uses vendor-proprietary hard drive format.
3. NAS's typical are not backed up. Network Attached Storage by nature often have large volumes of storage making backup more complicated and less economical.
