I have a perfectly working ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer edition for my home media consumption. Over the years, the drive bays have become jammed and increasingly difficult to open. I had to force open one because of a defective hard disk, and ended up breaking the drive bay. Is there anywhere I can purchase a replacement drive bay (not the drive) that is compatible with this particular ReadyNAS? I don't care if it looks different, as long as it's compatible then that's fine with me. Thanks in advance.
The part number is RNDTRAY-10000S. Netgear used to sell them directly, but they haven't for some years. However, you might still find some if you google diligently.
There is one seller on Amazon who is advertising them for ~$30 USD plus shipping.
You do need to be careful - I've seen RNRXTRAY1-10000S advertised as "ReadyNAS Duo drive bay", but that part number is for rack-mount ReadyNAS, and it won't work in desktop systems.
Perhaps ask Netgear support - there are many models with the same chassis still under warranty so they should have spares, whether they'll give/sell you one is another story, I get the impression they don't normally supply spare parts to end users, even for units that are still under warranty they'd rather RMA the whole chassis.
Is your device perhaps still under warranty (3 years)?
