RND2150 died at power outage. How to save my data?
I've had my ReadyNAS Duo 2150 since 2009. I've replaced disks a couple of times, and now I have two 1TB disks (mirrored). A couple of days ago, we had a short (2 minutes) power outage. After that the NAS won't start. Or rather, it tries to start but shuts down immediately, then tries again, and this happens over and over again. Usualy the start attempt only lasts for less than a second, but a few times it's lasted about 5 seconds. After a few attempts, it gives up and remains powered off. The start attempts include that the fan starts spinning and the blue power light goes on. The blue light fades out as the fan stops spinning. With luck, the problem is in the power adapter, and that it can be replaced. Is that a likely explanation? Are there replacements to be found somewhere? Otherwise, how do I save my data? I've searched forums, and a couple of suggestions I've found aren't really possible: * Replace the NAS with a new, identical one. They are no longer possible to buy. * Replace the NAS with a new, similar one that uses the same file system and whatever else that's required to be compatible. I can't find information about what I should look for in such an alternative NAS. * Insert the disk in a PC, and use a Linux Reader application to read the disk (http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/). This requires (I assume) a stationary PC, and I don't know anyone who use a stationary PC anymore, only laptops. What can I do to recover my data?Solved4.2KViews0likes10Comments
