If all else fails can I buy an old chassis and put the drives in there to recover my data or is there another method I can use to recover the data?
Any guidance on troubleshooting is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Have you tried RAIDar? It might give you more information.
I suggest testing the disks in a Windows PC with vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate, Dashboard for Western Digital). Run the short test first, if that passes then run the long test. You can connect the disks with a USB adapter/dock.
There are of course other possibilities, including a memory failure.
As far as recovery goes, you could also get a 4-bay enclosure and use R-Studio (or similar RAID recovery software) to recover data.
You'd need the $79.99 license.

I also can’t access the NAS web interface.

How does it behave and what does RAIDar indicate with the drives removed?
