What if NAS542 breaks?

In case the actual NAS breaks, but my HDD's are all fine. How am I able to extract the data from HDD's? Is the only way to buy new identical NAS?

The NAS uses conventional Linux software raid and filesystem. When you connect the disks to -for instance- an Ubuntu system, the volumes will automatically be assembled and mounted.
Complicating factor is that many (most?) USB-Sata convertors do a virtual sector resize, rendering the partition tables incompatible. So you'll have to use real (e)sata ports.

Hi @Mijzelf ,
you stated that the volumes will automatically be assembled and mounted when the harddisk is connected/mounted to a non-NAS Linux system.
When installing a brandnew NAS542, can i expect the same behaviour after inserting my old HDDs into it?
Please note that the harddisks have already been used (working fine) on a previous/foreign NAS542 machine.
For more information about the planned HDD-migration, please see also my today's question: https://homeforum.zyxel.com/discussion/1215/nas542-moving-existing-hdds-with-data-4x-basic-no-raid-to-a-brandnew-nas542-hardware#latest
Thank you very much,
Best,
