NETGEAR ReadyNAS DUO is Dead
Hi there, My old RadyNAS Duo appears to have given up the ghost and will not boot anymore. I'm prepared to replace it with a new one, but does anyone know if I can simply take the drives out ...

That is a good idea - something I generally recommend and do myself. Not only does it offer some protection against power surges, it also allows the NAS to shut down cleanly when the battery in the UPS drains. That avoids losing writes in the cache - which can result in corrupting the file system.
Thanks both.
A near miss and a lesson learnt.
When I get the replacement, as well as a USB drive, I'm going to factor in the cost for a small UPS, since it was a power outage that seemed to kill my Duo.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Mel
