RAID 5 Data Recovery After NV+ v3 Died

I have a ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000 v3 that won't turn on anymore (no lights, no power, nothing) after the power cut out last night.

No longer under warranty of any kind. And not looking to spend $120+ on a new PSU. I've spec'd out a custom mini server to possibly replace this NV+, but I am having a hard time figuring out how I would go about porting my RAID5 array (if possible) or worse comes to worse, mounting the array to port the data off the NV+ RAID5 array.

Can anyone point me in the right direction how I can do this? or do I need another NV+ or PSU for this?

    This link might also be helpful: http://www.freakent.co.uk/2013/12/25/improvised-readynas-nv-power-supply/. You might use a molex extender to adapt the pinout though.



    Do I just connect all 4 of my RAID 5 HDs? I guess only one way to find out! I'll check out that molex extender method for PSU replacement too! Thanks!
