Power loss
I'm experiencing power loss to my NAS. What should I check first the power supply on the cord, or presume the power source inside the NAS has failed.

Which NAS model? How old? Any circumstances surrounding the power loss?
- pumpchumpAspirantIt's a ReadyNAS Ultra II. I'd say that I've had it since 2011.

I agree, probably the power brick. You may even already have a compatible one lying around. It's a 12V, 5A supply and uses the typical connector for that. Most any supply with those specs (or even more current) will work. 12V surveillance cameras use the same connection. If you have something with just a couple amp capability, you conld see if it will power it up without the drives installed, just to verify it's the supply before buying another.
