Dead RN316
I have a RN316 (6 bay) that stopped working (not powering up) - it's EOL. I'd like to replace the PSU to determine if that is the reason or if it's the MB. The exiting PSU is a DPS-200PB-186A (...
Yes, the modifications to the 20-pin connector for the legacy NAS are the same as for the native OS6 ones. You should be able to confirm that based on the colors of the wires in your old one. Most of the later ones do need the 4-pin CPU power connector, so that supply won't work with those since it lacks one. But since the 316 doesn't need it, it should work fine.

In the meantime, can the (6) drives be connected to a PC and data recovered using a RAID setup (Windows/Linux)?
Yes, the NAS uses software RAID (mdadm) and the BTRFS file system. You can manually mount the array under Linux. you can also spin up a ReadyNAS VM on the PC.
In addition, some RAID recovery software supports both mdadm and btrfs - ReclaiMe is one that runs under Windows.
