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.

Should l eliminate/destroy that "data" volume that is showing up there with 0 for Data and 0 for Free Space?
No. Doing that will make it even more difficult to recover.

Then saw that Drive #2 is degraded,
Drives are never degraded. Volumes are degraded. Shuffling around drives might have made recovery more difficult.
FWIW, if you were running XRAID before, all you needed to do was hot-insert the new drive.

I've downloaded the logs
I can take a look if you like. Upload the full log zip to cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), and send me a PM (private message) with a link. Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download. You send a PM using the envelope link in the upper right of the forum page.
Don't post the link publicly, there is some privacy leakage when you do that.
Thank you Stephen, I just snet you a PM with the link.
