Can you provide a bit more information on anything that might have triggered this? Also is the NAS running xraid or flexraid?
Likely you need a data recovery service (or purchase raid recovery software). As you note, Netgear won't provide it since your unit is used. However, Seagate does offer data recovery, and Western Digital lists some partners on their web site that offer it.

Be careful to check reviews if you go with a different service.
