Stuck in Booting....
Original ower of a mint NV+ RND4210v3 w/ 4 1TB drives from 2009. Yeah, it's old, but it had been a workhorse, no real issues until now. When I moved last year, I shut it down, wrapped it in layers ...
You should try the single drive in each slot test first to see if the problem is in the SATA backplane. If that works, then it could be a weak power supply, likely the 12V, but check them all.. It's not difficult to get to the internal power connector to measure voltages. It's a modified ATX configuration. Pin-out is here: ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf . Make your measurements under load, maybe with dioffering numbers of drives.
Thanks for the suggestion. Will give it a try. While I can't guarantee it wasn't bumped, I treated it with as much care as possible.
I am confused by the model number. Yes, it is all silver with an internal power supply and 4 bays. The nameplate has a sticker on the Model line that says "RND4210", but the "V3" is imprinted on the nameplate.

The original NV+ had three small hardware revisions -so there is a v1, v2, and v3. You have the v3. All have the same performance specs, and all use the same sparc processor. All run 4.1.x firmware.
Where this gets complicated: in 2011 Netgear released a new platform to replace the NV+, and they called it the NV+ v2. It's a completely different plaform - using an arm processor instead of a sparc, and it uses 5.3.x firmware.
So here we call all variants of the original sparc platform the "NV+ v1", and we reserve the "NV+ v2" for the arm platforms.
Thanks for the explaination. That also answers a follow up question on upgrading my FW.
