Replacement power supply, who sells them?
Hi I purchased a ReadyNAS NV+ in 2009 which has been my main backup system until very recently. It started giving signs of power supply frailty so I have just installed a bigger better faster NAS...

I actually can't find my model on the Netgear site: the plate on the rear says very clearly "ReadyNAS RND4000 v3";
This remains a point of confusion for a lot of people. Here we call your NAS an "NV+ v1". It uses a sparc processor; while the NV+ v2 uses ARM. There were some minor hardware revisions over it's life, you have hardware revision 3. There's more information on unit identification here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/

Regardless of the model number this unit is out of warranty by some years. Does anybody sell a suitable replacement power supply? The Netgear support site doesn't make it very easy to find out if it's possible for me to obtain one from them.
There are a couple, but they are expensive. Google for RND4PSU1 replacement. Here is one: http://www.evercase.co.uk/CompatibilityListReadynas.htm
There are cheaper options if you are willing to modify the pinout on a stock supply (or on an extension cable). This thread has more information: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/Inexpensive-power-supply-replacement-for-legacy-4-bay-Readynases/m-p/1016241#M13476
If you are getting rid of the NV+ after you migrate the data, pretty much any ATX supply (with an extender cable) will do, since it doesn't need to fit inside the case.

That's funny, because I can see it in your reply as well. Never mind. See if you can view it from here:

You can see your own posting (and his quote of it), but a moderator has to approve it before the rest of us can (at least until you have earned a high enough "rep"). Until it's approved, we see the filler described.

Unfortunately there's no indication in the main post that approval is needed, I just see the image as usual.
I just approved it (and several others).
