Access data on HDDs without ReadyNAS?
G'day all, I've recently moved from Australia to the USA and in a bid to pack lightly, I brought the two HDDs from my ReadyNAS Duo with me and I left the NAS at home for my dad to use. I'm sure you...
Do note that recovering data from arrays from our newer models is a bit easier (with the newer models fuse-ext2 is not required).
Also you can easily migrate disks from a NAS to another NAS with the same CPU architecture running the same OS. Though the Duo (v1) has been End of Life for quite a while so it wouldn't be recommended to buy one of those now.
Normally we'd recommend copying the data off while the disks are still in the Duo as that is easier.
If the Duo chassis failed however we do recommend checking with us first to confirm a chassis has failed before getting an RMA (if under warranty).
On the forums here the community can also help advise as to whether it's likely there is a problem with the NAS chassis or not.
