ReadyNAS 314 - a year of hell and now lost 10years of data!
I bought a ReadyNAS 314 when they were new in the market back in April 2013. I bought it partly because I wanted to safeguard my increasing data storage with redundancy in case of disk failure, and al...
I hope (in a strange way) that it is the drives that are the problem. Having done a lot more reading they really aren't that suitable for an always on NAS at all, especially with continuous writing from the camera/Surveillance Add-on - Naughty Netgear for putting them in their compatibility list to start with!
So... I have 4x 3TB Seagate ST3000VN000 NAS drives coming tomorrow. From the marketing waffle and peoples reviews these should do it!

Now I have the Duo v2 with a full backup, hopefully getting all the data back on the 314 shouldn't be too hard?! And then I'll keep the Duo v2 as my onsite backup.
A note about the copying speed I mentioned earlier. I was getting about 4MB/s (hence why it took so long), until the volume got degraded (which I guess was when the drive gave up), then it shot up to 36MB/s - That saved about another 2 days of copying :-) I guess the drive struggling was slowing everything down.
