Can I read a raid drive from an NSA320 in an NAS540?

I have an old NSA320 that had two drives in a raid 1 configuration. The NSA320 died (currupted firmware). I used one of the drives as a new volume in the NAS540, thinking I would be able to read the data from second NSA320 drive. Can I do this? If so, how?

Yes you can.Enable the ssh daemon and login over ssh.Then find the name of the partition:
cat /proc/partitions
Assuming it's sdb2, assemble the raidarray:<div>su</div><div><br></div><div>mdadm --assemble /dev/md5 /dev/sdb2 --run</div>
Now you can mount the array:<div>mkdir /i-data/olddisk</div><div><br></div><div>mount /dev/md5 /i-data/olddisk</div>
Don't know if the partition will show up automagically in webinterface/samba, but at least you should now be able to copy the contents from old array to the new one using the command prompt

No, you can't.
NAS540 and NSA320 were used different file system, you can mount NSA320 drive to Linux and copy out the data, then restore back to NAS540.
