Pair of disks formerly used in RN202-100NES, using newer hardware

Will any other ReadyNAS read these drives I have?
You can migrate to any other OS-6 readynas (RN1xx, RN2xx, RN3xx, RN4xx, RN5xx, RN6xx). Lower model numbers will be less expensive. With these, you can simply plug in the drives and boot up. If you are certain you were using XRAID or RAID-1 (the default), you could just insert one, just to be extra safe.
Other legacy NAS can also be converted to OS-6 - that includes the Ultra and Pro models. Those would need to be converted before you insert the RN202 disks, and you would need a spare disk to do that.
If you can connect one of the disks to a Windows PC (using SATA or a USB adapter/dock) then you could try this software:

Hi! I found a RN10200-100EUS on Ebay (UK), but it's missing a Power Supply.
I believe I need a 12V, 5A 60W: input 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, but I can't tell from the data sheet what the barrel size is of the power jack plug that goes into the unit?
TIA
