OK, removed disks and powered on again, RAIDar still doesn't find it.
Are you seeing an IP address for it in your router's attached device list?
- If you are, can you ping it?
- If you aren't seeing it, then the chassis has likely failed.

One option is to connect one of the disks to a Windows PC (either with SATA or USB adapter/dock) , and see if ReclaiMe see the files.
If it does, you can get one of the two Ultimate licenses (either 7-day or not time-lmited) and then copy the files you want to other storage.

No IP address visible in my router, cannot ping it (I was trying the static IP that the NAS was set to).
I will try with the tool you mentioned, but first I need to get an adapter.
Many thanks for your help!

Is that IP address included in your current LAN subnet?
Generally I recommend address reservation in the router instead of configuring static addresses in the various devices.

Yes, it is. The IP is 192.168.1.9, the router 192.168.1.1 with 255.255.255.0 mask.
DHCP is only for the 192.168.1.101-200 range, so not to conflict with static IP devices.
