Hello silverjay9,

The idea of connecting the NAS straight to the computer is to eliminate the possibility of the network's router isn't giving out a valid IP and not seeing the NAS. The purpose of removing the disks is to check if the chassis is still good because RAIDAr should still be able to detect your chassis with or without any disks inserted. And since there is no DHCP between the connection of the NAS and computer (direct connection), the NAS will use its default IP address.

If your NAS isn't still detected by the RAIDar without any disks, then that must be it. The problem here is retrieving the data. The model you have is already EOL, so if you are going to get a new ReadyNAS, that will be a ReadyNAS OS6 version. If your disks till have data and they are important to you, there is a hope to be able to retrieve the data using the ReadyNAS OS6, that is through support team. I suggest contacting them first before doing anything when retrieving the data from the disks used on a legacy NAS to a ReadyNAS OS6.

Hope this help!

Can you also confirm that you have a v2 (many v1 owners think they own a v2). Check this guide: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/

Also, if you are the original purchaser, then the NAS should still be under warranty (which is 3 years). So you should contact support - if you are covered, they will send you a replacement unit, even though your duo is EOL.
