Failing ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus
I noticed one morning my NAS had powered down and couldn't turn it back on. After turning the power off to it completely and waiting a couple of minutes, it turned back on. Strangely it then turns of...
Is the NAS running 4.2.x firmware? Or did you convert it to run OS-6?
Additionally, since I can't get a hold of a spare chassis (none on eBay), how do I get data off the disks? They're working fine. Do I need to connect all 4 drives into a PC and then get the data? I'd prefer to use Windows and hear ReclaiMe works?
The disks can be mounted in a Linux PC for free (that would include a windows PC running WSL, or a Windows PC booted up temporarily from a Linux boot disk).
Also, you don't need a identical model chassis. An RNDP6000 (ReadyNAS Pro 6) would work, as would an x86 OS-6 system. Though details depend on what firmware the NAS is running now.
ReclaiMe works, but if you are running 4.2.x firmware then there are less expensive options.
