What to replace ReadyNAS NV+ v1 with
Hi All, So my NV+ v1 just had the PSU go boom... when I searched on the forums it seems there is a work around by re-wiring anATC Power Supply, but not sure I'm up for this, and it is an opportunit...
Well, if the PSU replacement works, then the old NAS should be ok for a while. If you can't afford to replace the NAS right now you could gamble on the PSU replacement.

One source that has them is http://www.evercase.co.uk/PowerSupplyUn ... eadyNASPSU
I recall another source being posted pretty recently, but am not finding it.
You should also get a USB drive or two so you can back the data up.
An RN104 would cost £150 (current amazon UK price) (and you would have to get the USB drives as well if you want Netgear to help migrate your data). Though get confirmation from mdgm that they can offload data on the RN104 before you purchase.
Though the RN104 is an entry-level NAS, it is faster than your older nv+.
