help me...readyNAS RND 4210 no longer works!!!
hy, readyNAS RND 4210 no longer works!! now i have a new nas, Netgear RN21400-100NES ReadyNAS Serie 210 how can i replace the 4 hard drives? thanks very much
The drives can't be simply migrated. You can engage support for this, but they will charge data recovery rates (which start at $200 USD).
Of course if you have a backup, you can simply do a factory reset in the RN214, and then restore your files from the backup.
Your other options are to
- Mount the RAID array in a PC that can be booted up under linux. You can then off-load the data yourself.
- Purchase RAID recovery software, and use that in a Windows PC (instead of linux). This also lets you offload the data yourself. Cost is similar to what Netgear would charge, but you would have RAID recovery software available to you in the future if you needed it.
- If your old NAS has a failed PSU, it is possible to replace it, and get it running again. Then you can copy the data to the new NAS (or temporary storage) using frontview backup jobs.
- Similarly you could purchase a used NV+. You need to be careful to match the platform type (v1 or v2). And sometimes used systems aren't fully functional.
