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 opportunity to upgrade to a newer model...

So first and formost I am looking for a replacement for the NV+ that has 4 bays, and when I plug my old disks in, it will recognise them and I won't have to rebuild the complete array. (I have 4 x DT01ACA100 Toshiba 1 TB SATA Internal Hard Drive, 3.5in, 7200 RPM).

Second thing is that if the new NAS could run PLEX server that would be a great bonus.

Thanks in advance.

Nik.

Then you can get either the 104 or 204 if you wish.

If you do get a new ReadyNAS it is important not to insert the disks into the NAS until prompted to by support.

I appear to have just joined the "blown NV+ v1 club" but I'm not tech-savvy enough on my own to open this thing and see what exactly is fried inside.

How can I learn more about a data migration plan to a new (yet-to-be-purchased) box. Or perhaps someone has an old working NV+ v1 they'd be willing to lend or sell used so I can move the disks myself? I just can't envision trying to fix this box.

Thanks all.
