I have several ReadyNAS units, though not that one. Assuming you formatted the drive in a standard format, then you should be able to read it without issue, but as always, the proof is in the pudding, pull it, see if it can be read. You won't damage anything by trying. At least not in my ReadyNAS experience with my NV+/NV2

Bummer...

Does the ReadyNAS have a USB port in the back? Mine has a one-touch backup to USB drive...

I understand about formatting. I always use standard formats, just in case. Yes I lose performance but I gain it back in compatibility.

Much luck to you
