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 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.
