So you were not using the default RAID6 for such a large number of drives in a volume? RAID6 should be able to withstand the loss of two drives. If you were using RAID6, then there is a much better chance your data can be recovered.
I have no idea if ReclaiME can handle that many drives, and you'd also need a way to attach them all to a PC to run it on. So Netgear support may be your best move.
Note that if you did use ReclaME, you'd need a place to download the files. Netgear support may also require that, since they may make the volume read-only to prevent further damage. Of course, you already should have a backup, especially if you were only using RAID5, though I assume you'd not be asking about this if you did. So that storage location can become your permanent backup solution once recovery is completed.
