PO15 · Whiteley and Locks Heath
Whiteley data recovery. A planned town north of M27 junction 9.
Whiteley was laid out north of M27 junction 9 across two districts, Fareham to the south and west and the City of Winchester to the north and east. Solent Business Park sits in the middle of it, with NATS at 4000 Parkway and ITV Meridian's regional operation at Fusion Three. Engineering records and video fill disks quickly here.

Five faults Whiteley posts in.
Not listed? Try the fault finder →| The complaint | Why it happens here | First step |
|---|---|---|
| An editor's project drive off a media job | Video and media work on the park leaves very large file estates | Imaged whole before any repair |
| A Solent Business Park array gone degraded | Small servers under desks, in offices that never planned to run one | Bare disks, labelled by bay |
| An engineer's laptop that will not spin up | Safety-critical work leaves drawings and logs on the local disk | Head work, opened under clean air |
| A Locks Heath household NAS calling its volume crashed | Two-bay Synology and QNAP boxes are the standard here | Power off, then image both members |
| A school year's pictures on one memory stick | Sports day, plays and leavers, stored exactly once | Straight onto the flash bench |
How a Whiteley job runs.
Whiteley questions, answered plainly.
Does the Fareham or Winchester side matter?
Not to the work. Whiteley Town Council covers the Winchester district part, Fareham Borough the rest, and both halves reach the bench by the same post under the same fixed quote.
Can a drive be handed in locally?
No. Whiteley has no counter and no van comes round. Post it tracked, or bring it to the intake laboratory in person, Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm.
An editing RAID has dropped a disk. Now what?
Power it down before touching anything. A rebuild onto a second tired member is what ends most large video sets. Every disk is imaged first, on the ACE Lab PC-3000 or DeepSpar, and the array is put back together from those images.
Locks Heath posts as Southampton. Is that awkward?
Not remotely. The SO31 district takes Southampton as its post town while the ground stays in Fareham. What decides anything is the address on the parcel, and that reads Guildford whichever side of Whiteley it left from.
