Hi Just a quick question I’m rubbing xraid with my nas I like the idea of all the drives combined but if my readynas stopped working how easy it it to get the data off the disks? Is it just a matte...

Of course if the file system gets corrupted as a result of the failure, then recovery could be more difficult - requiring you to purchase RAID recovery software.

Thank you for the reply, I know raid is not enough but the data I have if lost I could live with its just a pain getting it back but if its matter of connecting it to another system and been able to drag the file off files off that would be good 🙂
