Not long after I replaced the fan, which also had died.I'm assuming a new PSU is going to be too expensive, that depends on your finances of course but should be compared with the cost of purchasing a replacement NAS.Perhaps consider this LINKespecially considering that I can't extend the storage beyond its current 2tb hd limit, and I have recovered all the data, so that's not an issue.If you were to replace the PSU you could consider installing Readynas OS 6 to your Pro 4 and your Ultra 4 NAS's, this would remove the 2TB drive limitation,Check this LINK for the procedure, read all posts, as you can also check/update BIOS before moving away from Raidiator 4.2.x
- I picked the wrong model (I thought I had picked the NV+), sorry. It's the NV+ that died. The Readynas Ultra and the Duo are what remain. None of them support drives larger than 2tb. I don't think they can be updated to the later OS, which I've read only the later produced models can. So that's why I'm not keen to spend money on a possible fix. I was hoping Netgear would be environmentally friendly and take them, as they break, off my hands.
But I appreciate the time you took to answer. Thank you.
