Re: Connect ReadyNAS directly to pc without internet?

Not the 104, but the 314.

Did you have four or less disks in the NAS?

The drive order hopefully won't matter.

What firmware version was on the 316?

You could use a spare disk (must not be from your array) to update the firmware in the 314 then power down, remove the spare disk and migrate your disks across.

The NAS is Network Attached Storage not a USB peripheral. You can make a direct-connection using an ordinary ethernet cable. You could use a switch or router without an Internet connection.
