ReadyNAS NV+ V2 wont power on - read raid 5 data
Hi,
I have an old ReadyNAS NV+ V2 with 4 HD in Raid 5 that not power on (but the disks are ok). It's possible to read the disk from windows ?
Thanks

Only if you use RAID recovery software. R-Studio is one of three packages that will work.
You will also need the ability to connect at least three of the disks (preferably all four) to the PC at the same time.
If this is a V2 (which has an external power brick), you could also try a risk-buy of a new power adapter.
