Good day.

We had a NAS scare this week. We were not able to log into the NAS and get the files. The issue was resolved a few days later by setting a new IP address but this got me thinking. If my Tnas does die - can we plug the drive directly to a windows machine or USB drive adapter and get the files off it? Or do we need to buy a new Tnas?
