Netgear RN424

Hi I was hoping to get some guidance on this NAS. This NAS has been working flawlessly for a few years now but earlier this week it went down. No one in my office knows anything about it and i want to help them out as much as possible. It looks like there is still information on one of the drives but I dont know how to access it. Im hoping to save as many files as i can from this and if anyone can steer me in the right direction it would greatly be appreciated

    At least one disk failure, possibly two...

     

    Understanding the next steps requires analyzing the logs.  I can take a look at them if you like.

     

    Download the full log zip file from the logs page, and put it into cloud storage (Dropbox, google drive, etc).  Then send me a PM (private message) using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page with a link to the log zip.  Make sure the link permissions allow anyone with the link to download the file.
