ReadyNAS NV+ -failure
Hi all, I am hoping for some answers/help here. I have a ReadyNAS NV+, model number on the back says RND4000-100 v3. Up until a couple weeks ago it's been a faithful and amazing machine. I had...
Hi there,
As you indicated dead PSU's are fairly common on these. I'm on #3. Honestly it will be my last.
Anyway, it sounds like the PSU you bought is not correct. Have a look at this thread:
There is good info regarding adapting other PSU's to the NV+
I wouldn't futz around too much with the file systems on the individualy drives until you have exhausted all other avenues. Being some sort of RAID instantiation, files are spread across all the drives in a supposedly redundant manner. I don't understand it so can't explain it..
If you have no backup of your data, you might want to look at a used empty drive box off of E-Bay. Once your data is in hand, seek a replacement.
Thank you - I bought one like this, but perhaps it isn't quite right:
Even though it's pitched as a plug-in replacement. I will look at this other thread and maybe pickup another power supply unit. What can it hurt at this point?
I do have a backup, but I was a dummy and used Hubic for it. Great and cheap, but downloading all of it will take - I don't know, months? Plus there's a few recent items of my 1 year old and such that won't have been uploaded yet. It's really "funny" in that I found myself thinking that after all this time I should probably think about replacing the NAS and boom....

That one should be wired correctly, so that's not it unless you just happened to get a bad one.

Well that's good news. I was wondering if it was a memory module even. When I turn it on the fan comes on at what sounds like full speed, but nothing else. I ordered new memory $5 to see.
If that doesn't work, I'll have to figure out how to reassemble the raid as described above. No clue where to start.
