My NVX died last night. Can i read disks with another NAS?

Hello, my NVX died last night, but i think disks should be fine. I was trying to install disks into new RND 10400 unit, but it does not see my drives. I found that it's not compatible with hard drive...

Hello Rain13,

Welcome to the community!

This may be difficult, honestly. ReadyNAS NVX is an x86 OS 4.2 NAS while ReadyNAS NV+v1 and Duov1 are both OS4.1 so you cannot definitely use the disks from the NVX on any of the OS4.1 chassis (or vice versa) expecting that data will be intact, same with OS6.

Your option here is either you get the same exact model of chassis where these disks have been working or get a data recovery service. Also, make sure you label the disks, inserting them to the same model of chassis should be in the same exact order.

Please read this article as it may help you and answers some questions you have.

If you get a new OS6 business NAS, Netgear can help with migration. You'd need enough storage to off-load the data, but the new NAS can be set up to read the data.

You could mount the disks in a linux system too - assuming you have enough SATA interfaces.

I have an NV+ v1 that died. The 4 drives were set up as X-raid. If I connect 4 USB to SATA drive controllers and connect all drives and boot with Linux would I be able to see everything to copy it off?
