Does anyone have the ReadyNAS VMDK for VirtualBox?
There wasa VMDK that could be used in VirtualBox, which is now a broken link. Just wondering if anyone has it still that would be willing to share it? I just want to ensure that I can keep my ReadyNA...

I just want to ensure that I can keep my ReadyNAS running for some time, and the image would be helpful. Happy to share what I come up with on GitHub

This isn't the original VMDK, but a modified OVA.
However, for what I need it for, it should be sufficient. Thank you.
If anyone does see this and has the original, that would also be much appreciated.
Yes, and they are updated to the current OS versions.
You can get it here. This is the person Github page. He has a link to his google drive to get the ReadyNASOS-6.6.0-x86_64.VMDK file, as well as the instructions to set it up.. Make sure you click on the "download" link. The "VMDK Files" link goes to a page with previous version images. All those links dead end on Netgear's site.

Be warned, it will prompt you to upgrade to 6.10.10
I can see that the OVA are updated, but would prefer to have the original...
I'm currently looking at some options, as I want to ensure I can continue to use my ReadyNAS for some time after this forum is gone. I've created a GitHub repository where I'll eventually contribute some things.
For now, I've got the RAIDiator and ReadyNAS versions that are needed to have an up to date system. I've included the open source code, too.

I do plan to put a few instructables on the main branch, and then I'll probably look at creating a new custom FW with a later version of Debian. With that said, sometimes I create repos and stop contributing to them (FWIW I use the latest Docker and Portainer on my ReadyNAS, which provides me a GUI for various apps). I also forked the ReadyNAS SDK including the Wiki so that is archived, too.
This probably should go in it's own post, but I'll see what happens.
