RN10200 died, looking for replacement model
***Unable to select NAS for location; show all is not showing any addtional categories. Mods please relocate if possible.*** My old RN10200 has died somehow. It will not power on and I've tested the power supply as well. I have both good drives pulled from the unit and need to restore the raid on a new ReadyNAS unit. I cannot find a replacement RN10200 online anywhere for purchase, so are there any other models that will restore the raid when I add the drives to the new chassis. I'm hoping to recover the data on the raid, and would prefer to use the readyNAS. I had one issue before where the drives went in a new chassis (same model) and it wiped the config and had to manually recover data. Any models suggested would be appreciated, I'm looking at a RND2210. I only need this to migrate the data to a new storage array. Thanks in advance!

The RN100 series is end-of-life, so you won't find any new models. You might be able to find used ones.
As JohnCM_S says, you need an OS-6 ReadyNAS if you want to seamlessly migrate your disks. If you have apps installed, it'd be simplest to stick with the arm models - a used RN100 series, or a used RN200 series. Or as he suggests, an RN212 (an RN214 would also work).
If apps aren't installed (or not a concern), then you could also look at used x86 models (RN300).
Note that the warranty on used ReadyNAS is not transferrable, and Netgear doesn't provide paid support for used equipment.

Hi sjb05004,
Welcome to the Community!
You may check the RN212. Both the RN102 and RN212 are ARM units and runs on the OS6 firmware so you can just simply insert the disks from the RN102 to RN212 and it should work as it is (https://kb.netgear.com/22895/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Migrating-a-volume).
You may check the RN212 datasheet for more information about the NAS model.
Regards,

Thanks to both of you for your help. I got lucky and was able to snag an RN10200 on ebay that listed for cheap, so I'm going that route to make sure I can get my data. I appreciate both of you guys, JohnCM_S and StephenB, for the help on this issue. I've learned my lesson and will have this data off site as well. Hopefully I can find a way to rsync some of the data to an off-site location with the RND2210.

It's a bit tricky with the RND2210. Do you have a v2 (which says "Duo v2" on the front panel)? Or do you have the older v1 (which says "Duo" on the front panel)? Either way, I don't think it has support for rsync-over-ssh, and you really should be using that for over-the-internet backups.
An easier approach is to keep the RND2210 on site, and put it on a power schedule - so it wakes up daily (or perhaps weekly), backs up the RN102, and then powers down again. Also disable SMB access on the RND2210. This would give you a little time to disconnect the RND2210 from the network if ransomware were to strike. But of course, you won't have full disaster recovery.
If you don't have too much data, you could also look into using cloud storage backup for some (or all) of it. Google Drive offers 2 TB of storage for $100/year.
