How to recover accidentally removed data from Zyxel NAS542

My Zyxel NAS542 NAS don’t turn on, it may be out of order.

There is no way to access the files by just connecting the disks to the computer. I can't try replacing the device itself - there is no similar device available.

How to extract data from hard disks after the NAS device broke down, from an inoperable disk array? (I hope that all drives are working and my data is still there).

Is there any well-tested data recovery tools for NAS solutions?

Since no one helped me solve my problem, I figured it out myself. Here's how I did it:

I take the disks out of the NAS device and connect them to a Windows computer. The operating system of the computer to which I have connected the disks asks me to initialize or format them. I didn’t do that, because it would make recovery a lot more complicated.

I installed and ran Hetman RAID Recovery (https://hetmanrecovery.com/raid-data-rec...).

It analyze the disks, read their service information and rebuild the damaged RAID system.

The program has rebuilt the damaged RAID and found all the files stored on the network drive.
