My readynas (2013) finally died. The drives are ok, its just that the unit does not boot up or read the drives. What versions of readynas are compatible where I can just swap out the drives to another readynas device? Thinking if I could find one on ebay, I could just insert my drives and I will be able to access the data on my drives and eventually move everything off to another more modern NAS system.

Often this is just the power brick - which can be replaced very easily. So perhaps do a risk-buy of a replacement.

RN102, RN104, RN202, RN204, RN212, RN214 are all Arm ReadyNAS that run OS-6. If you migrate to those, then your installed apps will still work.
There are a lot more x86 OS-6 ReadNAS models - RN31x, RN42x, RN51x, RN52x, RN62x, RN71x models (where "x" is the number of bays). You can directly migrate to those as well - data will all be there. But any arm-specific apps will no longer work.
The older ReadyNAS Pro, Ultra, and Ultra Plus models can be converted to OS-6 (which requires a spare disk). Once converted, you can directly migrate to those (though since they are x86, arm-specific apps will also no longer work).
