I think that over time their policy has shifted. I know that when the NV+ was the active unit, you could purchase the fan, the PSU and spare drive trays, all listed at one time on the ReadyNAS store site as well as others. The trays are still available as is the NV+ fan but not the PSU. As more modern units have been released, the spare parts have not been listed. That is a shame but it indicates to me that they may have had problems with people who do not know how to properly open the cases and replace these parts.
It is amazing these days how many people do not have the foggiest idea how to open the side panel on their desktop, much less build one from parts. I mention to someone rather that compromise between different models about what hardware they want, they simply build their own and they look at me with this funniest look as if they can't believe I said that. So, those of us who can do it, wind up being limited.
When the Pro was first released (not the Pro 6, the original of which you said you had one), the promo flyer list the spare parts, none of which are on the ReadyNAS store site. I would take the fan out, get the make and model and do an online search. You may find at least the specs if not the actual fan.
