Lost all my data on my RN104 - anything I can do?
I've got a ReadyNAS 104 that has lost all my data. After receiving an error message that stated one of my drives was having issues, the front panel locked up but I could still see my shares and files...

My 104 only complained about the one drive and it didn't shut that drive down at the time. In my mind the box (raid and all) should be much more robust than this. :( Your right that 2 drives now seem to have high error counts but they both are still working and are just warning that they are about to fail. They haven't actually failed yet! I thought that if one drive failed I could hot swap it out with a new one. I guess not. I bought the ReadyNas as an alternative to having a bunch of external usb drives plugged into my computer. In hind sight I would have not lost everything from 4 drives.
The good news is that the data on these drives is not irreplaceable. :) I am somewhat rabid about multiple backups including online storage so the stuff I desperately need I can still recover but the disappoint I have is that I no longer feel that the ReadyNas is a reliable system for me. If it can die this way it can't be considered a robust system for storage.
