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...
alright guys, update. I'm gonna need your help again in the not so near future.
I've ordered the Pro 6, which should arrive any day now. I'm also gonna buy the secondhand Ultra 6 Plus, that will include 6 3TB drives. The plan is to sell the drives, which should almost cover the cost of the Ultra. That one will just be a spare. I roughly have about 10TB of data on my current NAS which is not accessible since it won't boot. If I follow online guides on migrating discs from the Ultra to the Pro, would you say that has a high chance of success? Because I could, but it's a lot of work, try this. Buy NAS Data Recovery software from Runtime Software. Attach five of the six drives from my current NAS to my computer. Run the software and hope it recognizes the RAID array. It has RAID5 support, but I and they are not 100% sure if it'll work with RAID-X2. If it does, I could use my secondhand Ultra as a backup for my data. Of course this is a lot more work than just migrating the discs from the Ultra to the Pro, so that has my preference. I'd appreciate your opinion on this.
