simple upgrade of RDN4000 V3
So i have a loyal RDN4000 V3 ReadyNas+ with RAID set up and 4 disks loaded - UPS blew up the other night fused the whole house (no other damage thank goodness) brought new power supply cannot get bac...
so yes the key question was looking for an easy way to fast track my disks into a new updated system - i thought i was doing the right thing on the NAS and could just transfer discs if an issue with hardware - clearly not that simple...!! Doh!.
I changed the PSU with a compatible out of box - system started, waited a while for ok etc I could access my data all was well, went into FrontView to do fresh back up and check logs and the system hung, just as i wanted to do a scan reboot....so could not reboot or anything had to do a power off restart - i can see the server in the network but it will not respond now - assume i need to do an OS reload then a disk scan - and cross fingers. Hardly overloaded my system its 25% data use of 4 disks so thought was well safe - little knowledge as they say!!
Really appreciate the help and advice!!

Checking/repairing the file system likely will increase the data loss.
I'd go the other direction (at least at first) - boot up the NAS using the boot option to skip the volume checks. Then back up what I could.
You could also proceed directly to R-studio RAID recovery.
