Hello hollow,
What FW version is running on the NAS?
You mentioned you tried a reset, I hope you have full backup because factory reset will format disks that are inserted. Resetting the unit without the disks won't help.
I would suggest testing the disks with diagnostic tools, just make sure to label each disk with which bay they are inserted, the order is important that when inserting them back to the NAS, they should be back to their respective bays.
Diagnostic tools can be acquired from disk manufacturer's web site.
Regards,

i cant tell what firmware revion its on and its been over a year since i last updated the firmware and i cant access the setup of it to find out , raidar finds the mac address of it ,host name and ip address . it says no disks detected ,but ive used the seagate tools and both drives are fine ,run the tests both drives bought at the exact same time so it would be more than coincidence for both to be dead at exactly the same time .
about the reset . its impossible for it to be done as it shuts down within a few seconds of holding the power button in . just wondering if the power supply has died again and isnt providing the correct power .

It could well be PSU failure or some other kind of hardware failure.
The Duo v2 has an ARM processor not an Intel Atom processor btw. You can tell if you have the v2 from looking at How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2
