I don't recall having heard of this happening with a ReadyNAS, but that's a weak claim. If your disks don't get corrupted but the controller has just swooned, you'd pull your disks (in their convenient carriers) and put them in a working NAS, either your own repaired one or another. Not sure what flexibility there might be with the second being a different model, but their tech support would know. Power up. Array should be there. > Also, can one install dissimilar drives in the Ready NAS box? http://www.readynas.com/forum/faq.php#Can_I_mix_disk_models_and_sizes_when_installing_the_ReadyNAS%3F
