Netgear Ready NAS data recovery

ReadyNAS RAID 5 data loss
I have a net gear readyNAS 104; I believe configured as RAID 5 originally with 2tb drives. I naively replaced the drives with 6tb drives to expand. Following replacing 2 drives, the third drive resulted in reformatting and data loss. I know the data is recoverable between the 8 drives and would like the 6tb drives set up with the recovered data.

Netgear ReadyNASG-Drive data recovery on Netgear Ready NAS
I have an external 2TB G-Drive hard drive with 1,8TB of data on it which I need.
Beginning from Friday last week, the hard drive has been acting weird, slowing down my computer and so on.
Now it wont even show up when I plug it in my computer. The hard drive is working (can feel it when touching it and it makes noises) when plugged in and there is a light blinking on it but my computer wont show it.
I have tried on another MacBook as well. However, its the same problem.
I would really like to transfer the data to another hard drive safely and was wondering how much that service would roughly cost me at your company? Also if you can not fix it, will I have to pay something or do you have the “no pay fee” in that case?

Faulty hard drive
I have a hard drive from my mother’s pc which is faulty, it’s a Netgear ReadyNAS hard drive. I’ve removed it and plugged it into my laptop and it registers and shows a file tree but when anything is selected it then just hangs, there is no noise from the drive but instead it gets very hot. I’ve not opened the drive up to see if it is stuck but I’m guessing it is.

The drive has a lot of old photo scans on it and also some genealogy stuff that my mother would like back so ideally if possible if you can get the drive working I’d like to be able to clone the image so I can just transfer to a new hard drive.

Leaking water on MacBook
I have an old apple broken MacBook bought around 2007 that I would like to be able to retrieve all the hard drive data from (photographs etc.).
There was an incident with a leaking water bottle in a bag around 4 years ago which led to the laptop breaking. I don’t have to charger for it any more either.

Seagate Freeagent Desk External Drive
The drive is making a steady clicking sound and sounds like the disk is spinning up between clicks! It is used to back up data, is not moved and has not been subject to movement/damage. Most of the data is already stored on my PC and I’ve backed it up onto a new external drive. However, I suspect that there may be a small number of photographs on the old external drive that I don’t have copies of. How much would it cost to either repair or extract all data from the old unit? If excessive then I’d just take a chance that I’m not missing anything important but if low cost then I’d commit to having the data extracted. From memory, it’s a 2TB drive but with much less than 1TB of date stored on it.
