Hello
I recently had a ReadyNas Duo fail and was able to recover all the Data from Disk 1 by using the R-Linux Utility ( http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/ ).
R-Linux recovered all the Directories and Files with the proper filenames and attributes etc. which a lot of recovery utilities do not.
Simply connect the HDD from the ReadyNas to your computer and run the R-Linux Utility directly from Windows (I am using Windows 10 Pro x64).
Hope this helps.

R-Linux doesn't support RAID recovery - it worked for you because you were using mirroring. R-Studio might work. Most raid-recovery software isn't free, disk internals charges $249 for a personal license to their tool.
Though there's a chance it won't be enough, per-incident Netgear support is much cheaper. In my opinion risk is also less.
