NAS Failure
Our faithful Netgear ReadyNAS failed last week, had been playing up since we got back from our trip, After powering down it would not come back op again. I pulled it apart and cleaned out the huge amount of accumulated dust to no avail, tested the power supply rails 12v, 5v, 3.3 v all flat lines.
We purchased this NAS in 2009 and it has run 27/7 since then with only 1 disk failure, so decided it was time for a new one. After hours of research decided upon Synology DS414 which I got online with no drives for $550. Put the drives from the old NAS in and and restored the data from backup, yes we had a backup of the NAS! :> and we are back up and running.
