ReadyNASRND2000 bricked.
Hi guys.
My ReadyNASRND2000 is not powering on. Totally dead. Had a few powercuts recently - no idea if they were related.
What is my best next move - my last external back up was over ...
OK - thanks for the help guys.
Pretty sure i have a V1 readynasduo.
Looking a bit closer - my power supply light was not on! Now confirmed it is blown.
I have orderd a replacement power supply and will try that in first instance... if there are issues then at least I know about using the linux setup to try and get data off.Cheers for the help!
Hi Doccy,
I would recommend you to try recovering the data by installing a copy of linux like mint cinnamon through live usb, you may follow this blog https://www.lifewire.com/create-uefi-bootable-linux-mint-usb-2202084 to create a live bootable usb. Once you boot into mint, you shall be able to view your RAID partitions. After you’ve done this, attach your external HDD which must be equivalent or larger than the size of the array.
However if you are not able to recover using this method, you could also use recovery tools like Stellar Raid Recovery or R-Studio Network Edition. They have a pretty straightforward recovery process IMO.

While this is an option, R-Linux for Windows is much simpler, since it requires no knowledge of linux. The sparc-based NAS require installing some older tools to access the RAID array, so it's not as simple as creating a live USB and booting it up.
So I recommend trying the windows tool first - we can circle back to this if the Windows tools fail.
