Old Readynas Duo does not power up after re-inserting original drive
I have an old ReadyNAS Duo RND2150 with a single Seagate 500G HDD (S/N: 1VB385RV000BA) probably with the latest firmware and RaidDar. I have been using 2x WD Black 2TB in x-RAID for about 6 month...

Frontview looks quite similar with 4.1.x and 4.2.x. The dashboard on the v2 is very different (both from 4.x and 6.x firmware).
Linux Reader should be able to read the data disk if you were using xraid - it can't read flexraid. Also it won't access the data volume from the parity disk. Usually the parity disk is disk 2, but there are some cases where it is disk 1.
However, you are getting your data off, so this is academic.
Indeed, I was successful in saving all the data files to another HDD in the PC using R-Linus in about 2 days. I did each folder one at a time. The backup rate was about 1GB per minute and I have about 800GB of data. After some initial trial and error with R-Linus, it discovered a drive entity called "c-c" which appeared to be the combination of all 4 Linus partitions into one. I could mark any files or folders I wanted to recover in "c-c". No file has failed to be recovered. Don't use the files found in a partition as part of those files may reside outside the partition and you will get file recovery errors. Please pass this onto any member who is looking for data retrieval in a X-RAID situation when the ReadyNAS Duo is dead.
