NAS 220 - Bot lights blinking blue, not accesing files

I´ve being using my NAS 220 for more than a year without any big problems, except that for time to time it dessapeared from my network if I try to access it with windows explorer, but the discovery tool could always find it.

 

Today I woke up, turned it on and...

 

1- Both lights are blinking blue (for 8 hours now),

2- I can´t access it how hard I tryied in every possible way (IE, Chrome, windows explorer, discovery tool).

3- The reset button seems to do nothing

4- I hear the HDs "working", then the lights turn off for a few seconds, then I re-starts all over again for a few minutes

 

Is that an endless loop/boot? I did absolutely nothing with my NAS, didn´t  change anything, didin´t install the latest firmware. 

It´s absolutely frustrating to trust in a device (I´m using disk mirroring, RAID 1, of course) and it simply bricks from absolutely no reason.

 

Is there a way I can access the data by directly connecting the HDs into my desktop computer?

 

Thanks,

Ricardo

After more than 24 hours, HDs still working, NAS not accessible... 

Should I send my HDs for a data recovery service?

Re: NAS 220 - Bot lights blinking blue, not accesing files

Got it,

 

1- I´ve bought an external HD case

2- connected one of my NAS HDs on it

3- connected on my PC

4- installed a software called Diskinternals Linux reader

 

Now I´m able to accesss all my files.

 

I´m gonna backup all my files to a safe storage, format the HDs, build a new PC for backip and that´s it. No more NAS crud, never again.

 

Thanks!
