Readynas nv+ RND4000-100nas to Readynas nv+ RND4000-200nas

Hi, my ReadyNas nv+ RND4000-100nas PSU has failed. I am considering buyig a used RND4000-200nas. Can the drives be hot swapped from the 100-nas to the 200nas with no issues? 

 

thx,

 

Ray

Welcome to the Community!

 

As long as the RND4000-200NAS Unit you will purchase has the 3 pronged socket like the 100NAS. There are RND2000-200NAS that uses a 4-PIN DC DIN AC plug which is the NV+v2.

This is for the NV+v1

This is the NV+v2

 

You have to make sure you are getting the correct version for your RND4000 PSU replacement. Here's a link to know the differences of both versions.

To the best of my knowlege, all RND4000-100xxx are NV+ V1 and all RND4000-200xxx are NV+ V2, so the answer is no.  While the drives can be re-used, you will lose all data.

 

Note that even if the NAS are compatible, you cannot hot swap the drives, you must do so with power removed.

 

I am not aware of Netgear offering a data recovery option using an NV+ V2 chassis with NV+ V1 drives.  They do, however, offer (paid) recovery using an OS6 chassis.  Another option is an adapter cable to use a standard ATX supply externally on your NV+ V1 to power it while you download the data to backup.  If you can connect all 4 drives to a PC, there are other recovery options as well.

 

Personally, I think it is folly to buy a used NV+ V2 to replace an NV+ V1.  Either buy a used NV+ V1, where the drives are compatible, or jump all the way to an OS6 based NAS.

I agree with @Sandshark getting a V1 is better so migration of the disk is as easy as transferring the drives while the NAS is turned off. If you plan to change or upgrade to a higher model, it would be best to consider migrating to an OS 6 unit, though migration will be done by Support.

 

Apologies on my first post, I actually talked about the PSU not the migration of the disk 😞

Hi Sandshark, thx for the reply. I checked my Nas and its says RND4000 v3. So to clarify, if i  remove the drives and putt the drives in same order, in the 200nas, (not sure what version it is) will that work?

The v3 doesn't mean what you think it does.

 

You have "hardware revision 3 of a v1 ReadyNAS" - which is a Sparc platform.  You can't migrate your disks to a v2 NAS - which is a totally different Arm platform.
