I have a Linkstation LS-QVL that has failed with an apparent fried power supply. The four drives are configured as RAID 5 and all appear to be in good order.
Is the any housing that will replace the existing LS-QVL and be able to house the existing drives in a way  preserves the data on the  drives?

you could try getting a new power supply if that's really the issue, I've found suitable ones on ebay for <$20. Otherwise if the lsqvl is fried you could get another one and move the disks over without a problem

otherwise all you need to access the data is a linux system with mdadm and xfs_progs installed (these are often there by default depending on the distro) and a way to connect them all. There are 4 bay usb3/esata enclosures I've used for this purpose that you can get for <$100. Then you could transfer the data wherever you want.
