Planning for major recovery
Just converted client over to Readynas NV+ from an old 2bay NAS from another manufacturer. The old NAS failed along with one of the drives. We were able to recover data from the remaining drive by i...
If you label the drives (since the slot they are in matters), you can shift them to another NV+ chassis, and everything will be fine.
If you buy a new NAS, the best thing is to get new drives, and migrate data over the network. This is the way I moved data from an NV+ and Duo to the x86 based Pro.
I haven't attempted to recover data directly from the disks, though some others in this forum have. Netgear will also do data recovery for a fee (per the FAQ).
I've made my older ReadyNAS units backups for the faster pro, and have scheduled backup jobs that run nightly. One option for you would be to get a second NV+ and do the same. Raid increases availability, but in my view you still need a backup/recovery strategy.
