    Thank you to everyone who assisted me with this issue.  The factory reset with a single drive was successful and since I had completed the full back up of the data I went ahead with the factory reset with all four drives inserted.  The rebuild took about 2 days but once completed the drive was available and ready for use.  I transferred the 3TB's back to the drive and have now been accessing it again as normal prior to this outage.  I can also confirm that my default/base/factory set version was 6.5.1 so no extra effort needed there.  

     

    After this completely avoidable debacle, I cannot imagine every allowing another firmware update due to Netgear is using this as a way to suck you in and pay for support...   :(

     

    I will be setting this issue to resolved.  Thank you again everyone!!!
