Hopefully just the PSU failed. The serial number of your unit registered on your profile is in the range for the Service Action to Prevent PSU Failures in ReadyNAS NV/NV+

Please see How do I replace the stock power supply on the ReadyNAS NV/NV+?

I have opened a case #27492351 and asked support to follow up with you.

If you would rather just buy a new unit you could follow these instructions: ReadyNAS: Migrating disks from RAIDiator 4.1 or RAIDiator 5.3 to ReadyNAS OS 6

It would be simpler to get the PSU replaced and buy a new unit and run some backup jobs to copy the data across to a new unit: How do I back up data from a RAIDiator 4 system to a ReadyNAS OS 6 system?

For your business I'd recommend looking at the 300 series and up e.g. RN314

Thank you for the response. I ordered the 250W Enhance ENP-7025B Power Supply from Amazon and moved a couple of the 12v cables as discussed in several of the user reviews. I powered it on and it looks like all of my data is intact and it's running normally.
