I think I bricked my RNDP6000-100NAS please help
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
I didn't lose any data that I can't recover. But my unit will not boot up at all.
Stuck on READYNAS logo.
A few months ago I bought a used RNDP6000-10...

Today I got a one command timeout from one of the drives. What is this?
An aborted operation due to a hard disk timeout. https://kb.acronis.com/content/9123
It's not a good sign, so definitely keep on eye on the disk. Are you seeing other errors (growing pending sector or reallocated sectors, or uncorrected errors)?

Hi nickel22222
Welcome to the Community!
Were you able to try booting the NAS without the drives? Does RAIDar detect?
Have you tried holding the backup button when booting from USB?
Pulling out two disks might have rendered the RAID degraded or inactive but it should give you that message. Might be best to try and recover the data off the NAS first by using ReCLAIMe or other suggested software then try to do a Factory reset.
I think USB Recovery can help but we have to make sure we get to boot it from USB.

The NAS no longer boots. Removing drives changes nothing.
Raidar detects nothing on both lan ports and that's likely because according to lack of lan lights no activity to lan detect in first place.
I don't need to recover any data, just make my unit work again.
Let me ask you this. If I use a USB thumb drive how do I know if it's compatible? And if it's a light when active type, won't the light come on?
I tried the two usb drives one 32 g and other 16 gig and nothing boots.
I tried all three usb ports no difference.
I used version "6" recovery and can provide you the file information.
I've held the backup small button next to constant green light for a few minutes. How many minutes/hours does it take to boot?
