OK so it looks like I've got an expensive doorstop. To read the data from these disks, is there a compatible netgear model (or other manufacturer) that I should be looking for? And do the RN424/RN214 support the Apps that the 314 did?

Thanks

If you want to migrate the disks, then your 4-bay ReadyNAS options are the RN214, RN424, or RN524. All are current platforms. The RN424 is the successor to your RN314.

Hi Stephen,

I use RNairprint (from RNExtras - it is an "airprint" type server for apple devices), and Logitech Media Server. I also had TVmobili on there but not used it for some time so I could probably live without it.

Thanks

I'm not seeing RNairprint at rnxtras.com anymore. You'll probably need to reach out to WhoCares_ on that one.

I just had it disabled until I could confirm it still works with 6.9.3. As it does it is available again.

I would go with the RN424 or RN524X

It is possible to attempt to recover data (at your own risk) e.g. using an ordinary x86 Linux Machine if you prefer.
