The question I have is if the disks are in working order can I move them to a readynas NV+ v2 RND4000?  Will the data survive?

No, that won't work.

Had an electrical storm the other day a strike happened on or near my home (scared the hell out of me) and I heard a static electricity type sound in my office.  Couldnt work out what it was until I tried to access some files on the readynas.  Dead as a dodo.  Tried different power cables, sockets etc.. to no avail.

I'd test the disks in a Windows PC (using vendor tools - seatools for seagate, dashboard for western digital).  Label the disks by slot as you remove them.

One puzzle is whether the failure is limited to the power supply, or if the system board also got fried.  The power supply can be replaced, the system board can't be.  If the disks have failed, the system board likely has too.  But if the disks are ok, the system board might have survived.  Sandshark might have some troubleshooting suggestions on that front.

Options for off-loading data include

1. getting a used compatible NAS (anything that runs 4.2.x firmware natively).  Some of these might have been converted to run OS-6 though.
2. getting an x86 OS-6 NAS - those will let you temporarily mount the the Pro's volume as read-only so you can offload the data.
3. Getting adapter/docks to allow all disks to be connected to a Windows PC.  Then use RAID recover software (ReclaiMe for example).  Alternatively, install mdadm/btrfs beta open source - we can help with the commands needed.
4. Similarly, getting adapter/docks to all disks to be connected to a linux PC (using mdadm/btrfs packages for linux).
