Normally you should be able to access the web ui, though it does run at a low priority, so it can time out.
Do you have a backup of the data?
Along the same lines, there's larger WD HDD's that are not on the ReadyNAS compatability list for RN316. Might I go with one of these larger ones? (at reasonable risk...)
