Putting drives back in correct order ReadyNAS RNR4000
I'm new to this community and do not have a log of knowledge regarding the ReadyNAS. I just know that it's been running since 2009 and when a drive goes bad, we would hotswap them. I know it's ba...
Replacing three disks at once is not going to work. Your NAS does not have a dual-redundant RAID level option let alone a triple-redundant RAID option.
If you were using X-RAID the relevant log is xraid_config.log
You would also have to look at another log to confirm which disk was hdc, hde, hdg and hdi at the time.
So you don't have a backup?
Have you hooked up the disks to your PC to test them? You should e.g. test SeaGate disks using SeaTools or WD disks using WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics.
Thanks for the info! I actually got them back in order by looking at the "disk_identify.log" that was from July and found them by their serial number. Such a relief! Now, I'm going to number them and see if I can recover some data.
Thanks again for your help.

Note that we do sell some data recovery services (we do software based data recovery only). It's definitely a help when users have had the foresight to download the logs before running into issues and have kept those in a safe place.
