ReadyNas 212 HELP needed
Hello all, I have a Readynas 212 and I need help after making many errors. I currently have 2x 4TB drives. Drive #1 is older and had data already. I turned from JBOD to RAID1 by moving for X-RAID...

is there anything that can be done to try to recover the data on either 4TB #1 or #2?
First, don't bother with tailed drive. Boot up the system with only the 4 TB drive in place.
If you are still using password as the NAS admin password, then change that to something. Then double-check that ssh is still enabled in system->settings->services->ssh.
You can then download WinSCP ( https://winscp.net/eng/index.php ). That supports a protocol called SFTP. Set up a connection that uses that protocol.
Use the IP address of your Nas (not the one in the screen shot).
After you connect, the right pane should look something like this:
Somewhere in that list you should see your DSK-4TB folder. Navigate into it, and see if your shares are listed. If they are, you can copy them to a disk on the PC.
UPDATE: The "data" volume showing there is the volume of the 6TB drive (JBOD) that is not mounted. Could it be that since I had Drive#1 and then inserted Drive#2 maybe I named them both the same and screwed that?
When I try booting only with Drive#1, it would not boot completely. So I made an OS Reinstall on that drive but it does not boot alone anyways.
If I boot on Volume Read Only would I be able to access that 1TB of data to save the files before formatting all?
