RNDU6000 won't boot - faulty PSU or bricked NAS?
Hi everybody, I have a Ultra 6000 which has been performing flawlessly for about three years now. I recently upgraded my drivers to 6 x 4TB and that whole process went quite smooth. I lost some dat...
What model 4 TB drives are you using?
One way to check the hardware is to remove all the drives (labeling them by slot), and inserting a scratch drive that is not part of the array. Then turn on the NAS, and see if it boots/does a factory install.
A failing PSU might pass that test, since it isn't providing as much power. However, other failures to the system board, etc. would likely still fail.
Netgear support can help you migrate your data to an RN316 or RN516 - which is probably a better path than getting a used replacement. You will need enough disks to offload the data though (as a side benefit you'd then have enough to back up the NAS!). Though your disks should migrate to a Pro-6.
BTW - of course Ixa's advice to do a factory reset will result in losing all your data (I think he mis-ready your original post).
