ReadyNAS Duo v1 will not connect to LAN - Faulty NIC ?
Hi, It seems I'm having some issues with connecting my ReadyNAS Duo to my new home-network and I'm at a loss as to why this is. Here is what happens; when I connect my ReadyNAS to my Zyxel modemr...
It could well be that the NIC has failed though there are other possibilities.
Do you have a backup of your data on another device e.g. on a USB disk ?
I do have what appears to be a partial backup of the contents of the primary drive on the ReadyNAS, on a WD Passport portable USB disk. If I remember correctly, there was job in place to copy the contents of one of the drives onto a USB disk whenever a USB disk was connected to the USB in the front of the ReadyNAS cabinet... If I remember correctly, that is.
However, since it is RAID 0, couldn't I just removwe one of the drives while the ReadyNAS is powered off and insert the disk into a HDD USB cradle to check the contents? Or would that wreck the drive and it's contents?
Anyway, if I can't figure out what is wrong then it's going to be close to an $800 investment to by new gear and drives... stuff is expensive these days here in Norway.

If you have RAID-0 with a single volume than you'd need RAID recovery software and both disks connected to the PC. If you meant JBOD or RAID-1 then it might be possible.
