X-RAID and access to data if box fails
I've had 2 Ultra 2 Plus boxes break on me in 4 years. The first time round I put one of the disks in a USB and got the data off as it was basically mirrored. Now I've had the second failure and it'...
Hello,
I have a Netgear RND4000-100NAS with a bad power supply.

Is it that simple or do I need to do special steps to make sure the new NAS does not reformat the hard drives, but recognize the data already on the drives?

ReadyNAS 402? AFAIK there is no such thing. Did you mean RN204?
If you want to migrate your data to a new OS6 system, you need to coordinate that with support. There's no way to convert the older file system non-destructively. But they can remotely mount the NV+ v1 disks on the OS6 system, so you can then copy the data off (either to USB drives or over the network).
