ReadyNAS Recovery
I understand I have run into a common problem. The power supply on my RND4210 went dead, and now I cannot access the data on my drives. Apparently Netgear discontinued support, and has no spare parts. Also apparently, there is no way to move the drives to a newer Netgear NAS and recover the data. The point of a NAS is to have a system with redundant drives in case of failure, but it appears the Netgear power supply is not reliable and burnouts are common so no matter how redundant the drives are, a single point of failure can lose all your data. To further complicate the situation, Netgear used a non-standard pinout on the power, so you cannot use an off the shelf power supply. I would be more than happy to rewire a power harness to power the NAS and recover my data. I dont care if the power supply fits in the chassis or not. I found references on the Internet saying this could be done, but I cannot find instructions on how to do so. My only other option is to buy a power supply from England and ship to the US. The cost to do so is 1/2 the cost of the original NAS. Asking if anybody can provide instructions to rewire a standard powersupply to a Netgear NAS. i have 4 terabytes of backups to recover, and I dont want to waste money. P.S. Another great option would be a conversion harness to plug from a standard power supply to the NAS.Solved3.4KViews0likes3Comments
