First, I would suggest for you to have a backup of all the important data. Regarding your question, if the chassis fails you can transfer the drives onto a new chassis since the OS of the NAS is saved on the drives (just insert it on the new chassis the same order as you have it on the old one) so you'll need to get the same hardware. I have heard as well that data on the drives on the NV+ (in case of failure of chassis) can be transferred to newer x86 units through SSH/TelNet access (this is a paid service though, which considers a lot of things).

First, yes my important data are saved on a 1tb external drive (and my nas is 3hd of 2tb in X-Raid 5).

A new chassis, do you mean a new ReadyNAS NV+ exactly ? Or there are models with same Hardware in Netgear Catalog ? Thinking there are not anymore SPARC model.

It's too bad that "X-Raid" netgear technology cannot abstract configuration hardware. Would be nice if we just have to buy any Netgear ReadyNas. Do i have to understand that my Ready nas is a fully material RAID ? And not hybrid Software/Hardware.

For the rest, i have found this, that is a good news, hope that's working: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306

You said that OS is saved on the drive. Are you sure ? Because my NV+ works without drive, i have see a 1gb drive, but not sure... How can i make a OS Backup from the nas ?

Thanks
