Suddenly one night my unit just stopped - cannot start again
Reg.: RND2000v2 (ReadyNAS Duo v2) – Diskless A couple of days ago my unit stopped working, it powered off somehow. Now I cannot start it again using the power button. I have tried taking out the pow...
I managed to backup both my 2 TB disks although it was a huge job taking a couple of days. I merged the data from the disks to prepare it for my new NAS Server which will be delivered later this week.
Look at the label on the plug or the existing adapter.
These usually have the vital statistics. All they miss is the dimensions of the tip.
Great! It seems to be plus (+) inside and minus (-) on the outside.

When it comes to the tip size, some generic transformers come with changeable tips. Some even do reversible polarity.
This sort of thing:
Generic adapter
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the changeable tip concept for a ReadyNAS.
FWIW, if you just search for ReadyNAS duo power adapter, you'll find a number of power bricks that claim they are compatible. While there might be some mis-information, I haven't seen posts here where that's been an issue.
I typically go with a 7.5A replacement supply just to be sure it has sufficient start-up current. I also recommend you get one that explicitly states it's for NAS, IP cameras, or something more than just LED lighting, as they tend to have better regulated voltage.
Also, a word of warning: if an eBay (or other) seller has explicitly hidden the power supply ratings on it (I've seen blurred out sections and "well placed" power cords), avoid that one like the plague. They are hiding something for a reason.
