Is there an upgrade/replacement path for Ready NAS 102?

I'm not sure I've done these tags right ... I bought my unit in 2014 and I believe the warrenty expired last August.  In November, I needed to get a new drive.  The process was slow but effective!

 

Yesterday I powered on the unit and it was not accessible.  The router sees it when it is booting/booted but then it drops off and disappears. 

 

So ... sadly I'm thinking I need to replace it.  Is there a current model that is good for the home?  I'm using about 1/2 of 3 TB right now and have the existing using unit setup for RAID 0 (? 1:1 copy). And would this possible replacement be able to use my existing drives? 

 

&/or do you all have any other advice for me?

    A "risk buy" of a compatible power brick is worth a shot.  If you google AD8180LF 332-10318-01 you will find several inexpensive options.

     

    If that fails, then the RN212 is the currently shipping entry-level home NAS - faster and with more memory.   You can directly migrate your disks to the new unit.
