ReadyNAS 2100 dead motherboard
Hello, I am facing problem with ReadyNAS 2100. I thought problem is faulty PSU (no sign of life at all) so I replaced PSU with normal ATX one for test and then I even tried another flex PSU. Orange ...
There is an OS partition mirrored across all the disks which has all that stuff.
Hi DaVa,
Welcome to the community!
It's possible that you can access your data via the RN2120 but it will go through a data recovery process that will cost you money. From there, you'd be able to back everything up and set it up all over again. Take note that 2100 is a legacy x86 and the RN2120 is ARM, they have difference in architecture and they're not directly compatible with each other. By the way, is your 2100 out of warranty?
Let me know if you have further questions.
Kind regards,

If you have an x86 linux system with enough SATA or USB ports you can mount your existing raid array there. Then copy off the data.
I'd suggest an RN3130 (the RN2120 is arm based, and you might find its performance disappointing).
