ReadyNAS Duo Rnd2210 locks up just a few seconds after bootup is complete.
I tried looking for answers first but the only other similar thing I found was from 2013 and sadly what I read there did not help. Short version: I ended up helping a friend of my dad's with some...
Just checking that you know that the standard password for that unit is netgear1, not password as with newer systems.
It may be useful to see the NAS status with RAIDAR (see ReadyNAS-Downloads ).
An OS re-install from the boot menu will probably fix the problem, It will also reset the admin password to netgear1. See How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-Duo-NV-NV-X6-or-600 . Just be sure to do an OS re-install, which retains all the data, not a factory default, which wipes it.
And tell your friend's dad that a RAID system is safer, but certainly far from 100% safe. If anything on it is really important, he needs true backup. Old IT saying: "If you only have one copy of something, you must not think it's important."
Also go into "turn windows features on or off" in the PC (assuming Windows 10 or 11) and make sure that the CIFS 1/SMB client is enabled there.

If RAIDar gives you an IP address, you could also try entering \\nas-ip-address in the file explorer address bar, and see if it gives you a share list. If it does, then click on the shares and copy off the data.
