Hi pjanjic
Welcome to the Community!
Your drives have been swapped out so inserting it back to the NAS might not be a good way to recover the data on the volume as it might be detected as new drives and get reformatted.
I would suggest trying to check the drives and recover the volume data first by using ReCLAIMe or other recovery options suggested in the community.
Drives taken out of the 2120 might also work using another 2120 but again, it is still wise to check on your data and recover outside your NAS before doing anything.
Hope this helps!
Regards
