ReadNAS NV+ v3 will not power
I turned off my ReadyNas NV+ RND4210 v3 the other day. Now it doesn't power up. I believe it is power supply failure. Can I buy a new power supply from Netgear? If so, how? My product is no longer under warranty.
Alternatively, is there a way I can get the data off of the drive? Can I connect it to a regular PC? Can I put it in a USB enclosure and then connect it to a PC? I have 4 drives and had enabled RAID. If I'm able to connect it to a PC, which drive will have should I connect? Would it be on one drive or spread accross 2 drives?

Likely not. They have little inventory, as the product was discontinued a long time ago. Here are other options.
- If you are willing to modify the pinout of a standard supply, it is possible to purchase one that fits your unit. The pinout change is here: https://www.readynas.com/download/archive/pdf/ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf
- You'd need at least three drives mounted in a PC running linux to access your data. You can mount them with USB. There's a guide here: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306
- You can also get a new OS 6 NAS. Support can help you temporarily mount your volume, then you can copy off the data. There might be a charge. https://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29876
