Yesterday my ReadyNAS Duo (RND2000-200) failed. Looks like a blown power supply or motherboard. There are two drives in RAID1 mode (mirroed). I bought a RN21200. I have read the following articles (29957, 29875).
I have followed all steps in artcile 29957. I want to make sure that If I boot RN21200 with the with the old drives my data would not be damaged. Second has anybody done this successfully. Third any additional words of advise?

Note that this migration requires support assistance, as noted in the kb article
To make the data accessible, some assistance from NETGEAR Support is required. ... It is important you do not attempt an OS reinstall or Factory reset as this will lead to data loss.
$200 fir initial diagnosis & ($180 per hour rounded up)!
That is only for cases when data recovery is needed, not for the more usual case where they are just making the old volume accessible.
I don't know what steps they actually doing, though my guess is that they are manually assembling the raid array, mounting the file system read-only, and then starting samba to make the files accessible.
