readynas314 not powering on
Hi NAS experts I have a readynas 314 bought 2013-14 it has been good so far but yesterday it did not turn on meaning did not power on. It was connected to ups. Tried below did not turn on 1. I trie...
I don't know specifically about the 314, but in most ReadyNAS the welcome message is stored in the display unit, so it gets displayed if there is just 5V power (and not necessarily very well regulated 5V at that). There are a lot of things that can be wrong and cause the NAS to not boot. Starting to boot and then shutting down has fewer potential causes, but it's still pretty long. None are repairable. My best guess is that it's associated with the power-on circuit or +3.3VSB that powers it since you can't turn on via the button.
Did you see what happens without the drives?
Do you have a backup of the data? If not, then you're either going to need a replacement ReadyNAS or a data recovery method. So, knowing Netgear has exited the market, are you thinking you want to replace the NAS with a (used) ReayNAS you'll keep using for at least some time, or are you ready to move on? That can help determine the best data recovery path.
When i tried to boot diskless same deal it wont power on.
As far as backups i am covered i have 2 copies of my readynas in 2 external portable hdd and 1 copy in cloud.
So the new nas i buy will be a synology, qnap or explore ugreen. Once i buy that i can copy data from one of my external hdd from sunday when the readynas last worked.
On the new nas since netgear is out what would you suggest. My needs are storage,stream photos,vidoes from nas to tv,phone etc,ability to back pics feom phone to nas,good UI stable software,email notifications for failures and stuff.
