Hardware Failure ReadyNas Ultra 2 (RNDU2000) swapping drives into a Ultra 4?

FWIW, you can also directly migrate the disks to a Pro or Ultra Plus platform.

Do you need to offload data?
BTW, if you purchase a used X86 OS-6 NAS, you can mount the Ultra volume as read-only. After off-loading you can complete the OS-6 setup, and then restore the data from the backup. So that is another option.
If you power up with no drives, does RAIDar report a "No disks" status, or is it unreachable?
It could be just the power brick, and replacements are cheap, so it might be worth a shot.
