Using ReadyNAS as backend for lightweight web tools — is it reliable?
Hi everyone, I currently maintain a small web tool (for example a gratuity / end-of-service benefit calculator for users in the UAE), and I’m evaluating options to host user data, logs, JSON storage files, and backups. My ideal setup is a lightweight, always-on system without needing a full server. That’s where ReadyNAS caught my interest. Some of the things I’m considering: Using ReadyNAS to host REST APIs, static JSON or YAML config files, and backing up user session data. Ensuring data integrity and performance — especially under concurrent access. Handling firmware updates without breaking API endpoints. Syncing backups to cloud or another NAS for redundancy. A few questions for those experienced with ReadyNAS: 1. Has anyone used ReadyNAS to back a small web service or tool (not just file server)? 2. What is the maximum recommended concurrent requests for lightweight API files (JSON) on ReadyNAS? 3. Which methods have you used for version-safe firmware updates so that custom services are not lost? 4. How do you handle secure access (SSL, tokens) when serving APIs from a NAS that’s also storing private user data? If anyone’s already built similar backend or microservice setups using ReadyNAS, I’d love pointers or pitfalls to avoid. Thank you!Readynas ultra 6 won't go past readynas screen
Ho all, after many years I've decided to tackle my readymas issue. I had an issue with it 3 years back and paid a tech to look at it, he said 2 drives had collapsed and replaced them. It worked again after restriping or what ever it did. Fine for 6 months then wouldn't work again. I check and hes put in normal drives, a different brand and refurbished. I'm suspecting one or more of the drives have again died so it won't start up. We tried to access the boot menu, it won't go past the readynas screen. We did as mentioned in paperwork and held in the reset button and nothing past readynas screen. Took all drives out and tested, it cones up with no drives, so assume its working still. What's the best way forward from here please? Ideas? No idea which drives aren't working so cant just replace them. I'm not that tech savvy but my kids are 😜 and trying to fix it for me.Someone is selling an EDA500 brand new in the box on Ebay
I've seen a thread or two here asking if the EDA500 is still available. It was actually discontinued in 2019, but, I've seen a recent listing on Ebay for a EDA500 brand new in the box. The same seller is also selling some used 626x's and EDA500's paired together.ReadyNAS 626X (RN626X00) S/N 4MD46CEL000F1

I made the raid5 with 6 disks and used for a year. Now I my RN316 is broken then I try to connect these disks to another linux. However I checked every disks, somehow there is raid0x5disks and raid1 x 1disk It looks like raid5 fall aparts into raid0 and raid1. Is it possible to use these as raid5 forcebly?? such as 5 drives, /dev/sdd3: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 5cda431d:eb21dd6d:849d9d92:636a0c72 Name : 0a438048:FILES-1 Creation Time : Wed Jun 11 08:24:46 2025 Raid Level : raid0 Raid Devices : 5 Avail Dev Size : 15618351694 (7447.41 GiB 7996.60 GB) Data Offset : 264192 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=264112 sectors, after=0 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 6ac2adc5:992e062a:7e8aa6d7:5885b27a Update Time : Wed Jun 11 08:24:46 2025 Bad Block Log : 512 entries available at offset 8 sectors Checksum : d77027db - correct Events : 0 Chunk Size : 64K Device Role : Active device 1 Array State : AAAAA ('A' == active, '.' == missing, 'R' == replacing) one drive is like this, sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sdf3 /dev/sdf3: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 38792c55:ec30a05d:ef132979:1abc74c9 Name : 0a438048:FILES-0 Creation Time : Wed Jun 11 07:15:43 2025 Raid Level : raid1 Raid Devices : 1 Avail Dev Size : 15618351680 (7447.41 GiB 7996.60 GB) Array Size : 7809175808 (7447.41 GiB 7996.60 GB) Used Dev Size : 15618351616 (7447.41 GiB 7996.60 GB) Data Offset : 264192 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=263912 sectors, after=64 sectors State : clean Device UUID : df652525:c37b0a23:214456ea:deba215a Update Time : Thu Jun 12 02:46:05 2025 Bad Block Log : 512 entries available at offset 264 sectors Checksum : 295491c1 - correct Events : 2 Device Role : Active device 0 Array State : A ('A' == active, '.' == missing, 'R' == replacing) Swap area(/dev/sd*2) somehow keep raid10 sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sdf2 /dev/sdf2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 860482db:bc8f628a:3b14dc96:8fc010a0 Name : 0a438048:1 Creation Time : Wed Jun 11 07:15:43 2025 Raid Level : raid10 Raid Devices : 6 Avail Dev Size : 1044480 (510.00 MiB 534.77 MB) Array Size : 1566720 (1530.00 MiB 1604.32 MB) Data Offset : 4096 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=4016 sectors, after=0 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 7300c357:529e4410:a14c33fc:e11bb3c2 Update Time : Wed Jun 11 17:09:12 2025 Bad Block Log : 512 entries available at offset 16 sectors Checksum : a8d95fb5 - correct Events : 19 Layout : near=2 Chunk Size : 512K Device Role : Active device 0 Array State : AAAAAA ('A' == active, '.' == missing, 'R' == replacing)
