How to Recover Data from RAID Based on Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2000
How to recover data from Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 which doesn’t work anymore.
I have Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 with RAID1. At some point, he stopped showing signs of life. Checked the power supply unit, it is working.
A lot of important data remained on the array. There is no access to similar devices (to connect my drives). How do I restore my data?
Got it. I will definitely try R-Linux.
But I already managed to try Hetman RAID Recovery (https://hetmanrecovery.com/raid-data-recovery-software) in the same way. It seems to me that programs work in a similar way.
As you can see in the screenshot, the program has identified the partitions of my raid array. After scanning it, the files are available.

I suggest first powering down the NAS and removing disk 1 (leaving slot 1 empty). Then power up, and see if you have access to your data. If you do, copy it off right away. Don't revoot the NAS, don't try to reinsert the disk.
If that doesn't work, then R-Linux for Windows is worth a try:
Start by connecting disk 1 to a PC, and see if the tool can see your data. If that fails, then try disk 2. This tool will also require you to offload the data to the PC.
Be careful to keep the NAS powered down when removing/reinserting disks. Also label them by slot as you remove them, so you can keep track of which disks go in which slots.
RAID isn't enough to keep your data safe, and it is quite possible that you are dealing with a failure of both disks. Hopefully you can get your data back - if you do, then I recommend that you put a backup plan in place for your NAS.

The paid version would be R-Studio, which looks comparable to the software you found.
