    You will need a linux computer if you need to view the contents of the HDDs, I have heard that netgear engineers has a way of migrating disk to OS6 units without formatting but not 100% sure about it.

    Our support engineers have a way of attempting to recover the data using a 104, but you would need to not do anything until instructed to by support. The data would need to be backed up to e.g. a USB disk, so you can then wipe the disks and restore data from backup.

    Were you using X-RAID or Flex-RAID? If Flex-RAID which RAID level?
