No you cannot do that.

I assume you have no backup of the data on the NV+?

Do you have a v1 or v2?

What is happening to the unit that makes you believe it is dead?

 

You have several options if it is dead:

 

1. Find anotherr NV+, use a spare disk to update the firmware on it, then insert all your disks in the same order and power up.

2. If you are planning to buy another readynas you can contact Netgear support who will guide you through a process that may allow you to retrieve your data.  This will cost money and you would need space to backup all the data during the process.

3. Mount the array on a Linux system:  there are guides for this available which we can point you to if you are considering this.

Mounting Sparc-based ReadyNAS Drives in x86-based Linux

 

Unfortunately the link is not working at the moment, I'm not sure if this is a temporary problem or not. I will PM the owner and see what is happening.

I don't have a copy of the guide but I suspect someone here will.  I think the process is fairly straightforward.
