ReadyNas 2120v2 No Longer Network Accessible
I'm in the process of taking our ReadyNas 2120v2 out of service due to age. Yesterday, I was moving data off the unit when network accessibility was abruptly lost.. I lost assess to the SMB shares ...

No, it would not initialize on a scratch drive. I actually filled the sleds with some old identical Seagate HDDs I had laying around.
Did you use the boot menu option to do a factory default?
If not, try erasing one with Seatools to remove any formatting and partitions. Then try powering up the NAS with just that one disk installed. The simple overwrite option is sufficient for this.
I wanted to post an update. It took me a few days, but I took dd images of the drives as a precaution. A buddy of mine happened to have a ReclaiMe license that he let me borrow.
I loaded the dd images into ReclaiMe and I was able to get the last 500Gb of data back that I needed. Worked surprisingly well.
I want to thank everyone for their help! At this point, I consider the hardware a lost cause. I was taking it out-of-service anyway, so off to electronics recycling.
