- Thanks for the help everyone. I followed both advice, booted with an old hard drive accessed the NAS via the web interface, downloaded the latest firmware and updated. I then put my hard drives back in order and rebooted. Rebooted in good time and could see my files. Took the NAS about 24 hours to file check and sync and I now have access to everything.
Now to clean up the files and think of a plan to make sure this does not happen again.

Hi Junyar
Welcome to the Community!
NV+ has V1 and V2 so you need to make sure they are the same. How to tell NV+ V1 from V2.
You can just plug in the disks in the same order as with the Old NV+ then turn on the unit. It should boot normally given that the disks are still healthy and you should be able to access your data back.
It's good to hear that you were still able to find a replacement unit. If you have purchased that Brand new from a NETGEAR Authorized reseller you can try to contact NETGEAR Support and register your device and provide the Proof of Purchase. You might be able to take advantage of the Warranty.
