    Years ago I bought a sata hdd dockingstation from a chines site for $20. Today I finally used it to connect my corrupt hd from the Nas to recover as much as possible. I did connect it to the USB-port of my TS-219P

    Hi,

    Thanks for your support, but my firmware is 4.1.2, and my share folder is under /share/CACHEDEV1.

    So my r-stduio cannot show nas filesystem correctly (this is screenshot http://ppt.cc/4HSt).

    Is there any suggestion about this situation?

  7. Colm says:

    Thank you very much for this! I managed to recover data from a failed Qnap 219P NAS using your article. I’m very grateful.

    You saved my ass! I had a harddrive from a NAS system that was unreadable. I used DiskInternals to get my data back!
