ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus.... 18TB -> 24TB
Hi, Currently using 6x3TB Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 drives on a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus. Not a very good drive though imo, had already 2 bad ones, curiously both were in slot No.2 of the NAS... wondered...

you can't expand past 16tb.
you can't expand more than 8tb from your original volume size.
it looks like your hitting (or about to hit) the 16tb expansion limit.
I would think your only option now is to backup everything (ideally to a different nas), then factory reset the readynas with all 4tb drives installed.
you could also consider converting over to OS6 (see thread, it is not supported by netgear but is possible), this of course also requires backing up all data first.
