Thanks Peter.. appreciate your post. I am in IT as well, but it never occured to me that I would not be able to just plug them in another exact same device and see all my files. I actually did get a second dns-323 unit, but it would not recognize the drives until I formatted them..which I did not do of course.

I feel that my only safe alternative is to bring the drives in and have them recovered by a company that specializes in that line of work. I am very confident that I can get my data back.. but it's going to be hard to swallow the price tag of a grand.

Now I will have 2 dns devices and they will both have the same data.. and I am going to get an BD burner and burn it there as well..triple play.

Lesson is most definitively learned.
