ReadyNAS Duo v2 died in 5 days
I bought a new ReadyNAS Duo V2 Diskless system on the 17th. Yesterday the 22nd I came home from work and the ReadyNAS was powered down. After researching here and trying to power it up I checked the power supply and found 0VDC. I removed my drives and plugged in a 12v 2A power supply and the ReadyNAS powered up. So I have a dead power supply. Here's my question:
When I get a replacement and put my drives back in, will I lose all the data on the RAID 1 created by ReadyNAS?
Thanks
John

- Can you confirm its a Duo v2 by looking at How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2?
Take a look at http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_migrate_disks_over_from_an_existing_readynas_to_another
Don't plug a 3rd party power supply in. If the power supply is incompatible and causes damage it will void the warranty. - It's going back to the store. I'm more worried about my data. The box and receipt all say Duo v2. I read the "how to migrate" link. THANK YOU! :)
BTW I only turned on the power with the other power supply for a second to see the power light come on, and that was without the disks.
Thanks mdgm!
John - Returned to store. They replaced the power supply. Reinstalled my disks, plugged everything in and voila! All data is available. Problem solved!
