If you are running 4.2.x firmware, then you can try powering down the NAS and connecting one of the disks to a Windows PC (either with SATA or a USB-Sata adapter). There's a free utility (R-linux for windows) that should be able to read the data volume. http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/
Note if you are using RAID-0 to span both disks, this won't work. But it should work with jbod (two volumes), XRAID, or RAID-1.
