Yes that can be done too. You'd need to have mdadm and btrfs installed.
Something like
# apt-get update
# apt-get install mdadm btrfs-tools
# mdadm --assemble --scan
# cat /proc/mdstat
# mount -t btrfs -o ro /dev/md127 /mnt
New 2-bay models are the RN212 (ARM) and RN422 (x86). If you want a new 2-bay unit I’d go with one of those. We also have 4-bay, 6-bay and 8-bay desktop NAS models.
Migrating disks to another ReadyNAS or using a Linux PC to attempt data recovery working smoothly does assume that the disks are fine, the RAID and data volume on the disks are in a good state and in the case of moving to a ReadyNAS that the OS on the disks is in a good state. These may not be the case.
