Like many other posts here, I've experienced a power supply failure on my ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000v1. I understand these devices are end of life, but I would like to see if I can get a power supply replacement in order to get it working again and migrate to a newer device. Any help is appreciated.
If you are planning to get a new Readynas, there is a procedure to migrate your disks from an old Readynas to the new unit. You would require Netgear support to help you with this, it is important not to insert the disks into the new unit until instructed by Netgear, and during the migration you would need to copy your data to another location (in other words you'd need some space somewhere to copy all your data).
if you went about it this way you would not need to get a new PSU, unless of course you wanted to repurpose the NV+ .
Yes, I was hoping to get a new power supply in order to get the ReadyNAS NV+ running again ASAP as I need access to that data for time critical assignments. I would then start a plan to migrate off the device onto a new device. I understand it's simply not a "swap disks" kind of thing. There is a LOT of data I would have to move to whatever temporary location I can come up with and that will take time as well. Is there a way I can get a PSU replacement?
I'm in the US. Yes, I can find a PSU replacement but they are pricey. My understanding was that Netgear was honoring warranties because of faulty PSUs on the Netgear NV+. At least that is what I picked up from other posts here. I don't want to shell out a couple of hundred dollars on a PSU for a device that is end-of-life if I don't have to. But perhaps I will have no choice.
Do you happen to have the link to the affected serial #s? I cannot seem to locate on Netgear site. I'll keep searching. Thanks for the additional info on replacement PSU.
Appears that my NAS is not within the serial # range. 😞 Shot in the dark, but wondering if Netgear has any compatible PSU's lying around? These devices are end of life. Ha! Really don't want to have to spend more than what the device is worth just to get a third-party replacement PSU. Yes, I am whining.
