Ready NAS NV+ 4250 v3 drive migration
I wanted to ask the community if anyone has successfully moved clean raid 5 disks from a legacy NV + Sparc version 4.x to the latest NAS 412 ver 6.x? My old NAS died and presently has my data hosta...
Hello community.
Wanted to share my experience with the board.
Since my older ReadyNAS 4000 V1 died, i have been trying to regain access to my files.
NetGear was so kind to assist and for $200 - allowed access to tech support level 3, was actually shipped a ReadyNAS 4000 V2 to "check and see" if it would read the drives.
Nope no luck,.
So through various testing with numerous other RAID recovery software, found that reClaime could read the drives and build the directory table perfectly.
So for another $200., i was able to activiate the software license and regain the files Tech Support 3 nor a V2 ReadyNAS 4000 would allow me to recover.
Overall, not sure my experience with NetGear Level 3 tech support was somthing i would spend 200 for in the future. Try reClaime first - save your self the time and trouble dealing the folks on different time zones with little true concern with your need to recover your data.
PS - leason learned - now have a Bluray burner to backup the raid on a solid medium and an external USB drive for a portable medium.
