What is it? RAIDar? Or something else?
If you
- power down
- remove the disks (label by slot)
- power up
does RAIDar show you a "no disks" status? https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads

Thanks Stephen B,
i took out the drive, it was recognized by RAIDar when I reinserted it but said the memory/storage was full, which it wasn't. I ended up just reformatting the whole thing now I've got a bunch more issues I don't seem capable of overcoming, specifically getting my music library back on the drive. I tried setting up the ReadyNAS vault, couldn't sign in, tried resetting password repeatedly and now am being told I have to contact support to get signed in. Very frustrating.
