ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2 - no connection after Power Outage
Hi there, After an power outage i couldn´t access my ReadyNAS anymore. After a ot of googling and following different advice from the community and different forums on the web, i´m desperate and tr...
You could try booting up while skipping the volume check - see pages 15-16 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf
You could also connect the disks to a Windows PC and test them with vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate, Dashboard for Western Digital).
Though RAID0 is very fragile - it is possible that the power failure resulted in lost writes that gave you a volume that is out of sync. Do you have the data backed up? If you do (or don't mind losing it), you could also do a factory default, and set the NAS up from scratch.
Thanks so far, really appreciate your help.
Skipping the test did nothing.
Without HDs: “Harddrives missing”, still 192.168.168.168, admin panel not opening,
HDs back in, reset: “Drive creation” (direct translation of “laufwerkserstellung”, after a while „Booting up“ (direct translation of „hochfahren“. After a while the Activities LED and drive 2 is still blinking and drive 1 is green all the time.
According to the manual it could be a problem, not a problem or a serious problem. 🤦🏻♂️
I hope for indexing but think it’s just broken.
Edit: can you tell me from which point in the boot up process the device SHOULD be visible in raider? And from when on should be the admin panel accessible? Directly after hard resetting, how long should it take to be able to access the admin/setup page?
It doesn’t show up in RAIDar anymore neither over router nor direct LAN.
Since I’m leaving for the weekend, I will just wait if the blinking stops till Monday at some point and if so, if it’s showing up in RAIDar. If not it’s going to fly out of the window and I will look for something new. Not worth all the time and Energy I already put to it…

It's a model that they stopped building 10 years ago, can't handle large disks, and by current standards is very slow.
I'll use mine as long as it lasts, but won't invest a lot in it.

There is a disk test, which will take a few minutes, followed by also the flexraid/xraid decision window, which is 10 minutes. After that I think it sometimes is incommunicado during formatting and RAID sync.
One easy step is to try the reset with only one disk in place (which goes faster because there is no RAID sync). If that doesn't work, try one last time with the other disk.
- Thanks again for all your help. I think I’m done with it.
It stopped blinking about an about after my last post. everything seems in order, LED wise.
it doesn’t show up in RAIDar, not directly, not over the router, not in the routers network list, just like as it started out.
So I will look for a replacement over the weekend. Maybe there is a good price for a Synology or qnap somewhere.
Thanks again and have a nice weekend.
