First of all my apologies for perhaps misusing/ not knowing correct terminology, it's been some time since I have done anything with my NAS.
Recently I experienced some kind of power supply failure (I think maybe from a power surge) which left one of my redundant power supplies non-functional. As a result of this I found that all the USB and VGA ports on my NAS had failed. This is a major problem as my FreeNAS installation runs/boots off a USB thumb drive. When I removed the USB drive and attached it to another device the USB drive powered up and was recognised (at this point I ejected the drive of course) which makes me hopeful that my installation is still intact. At this point I am wondering if it is possible to move my NAS setup to a different device in order to retrieve the data? I would of course also be open to other suggestions and will be grateful for any advice that can be offered. Fortunately everything of real value is backed up on a portable hard drive as well but I would obviously prefer if possible to not lose the other data on the NAS.
Here are my specs:
System: HP Proliant DL380 G5
RAM: 16GB ECC
CPU: Dual Xeon (couldn't determine the model)
RAID Card: HP P400 (My RAID is not set up here)
Hard Disks: 2x1TB WD Red Drives configured in RAIDz1
Thanks for any help you can offer
