Hello!
After 50 hours of resynch, my RN104 is now redundant (Using X-Raid).
Do the procedure of upgrading the RN1004 firmware with 6.5.2 T486 fixed the bug.
Just for your information.
Thanks again for your support.
Best regards.

Hi migmat,
Yep sure looks to be more and more like a NAS OS issue. Granted I am still on 6.5.0 and not going to update to 6.5.1 until this is sorted.
All my 4 drives are identical and from same source - WD RED 4TB

There is an entry in the 6.4.2 release notes: "Fixed a potential hang on RN104 systems due to a race condition when using the CPU's RAID5 offload engine." I've been wondering if there is a connection (e.g. there is still something wrong there).

Hi StephenL,
Apologies but slowly catching up and just spotted your comment to me previous comment about staying on OS ver 6.5.0
Do you think I should update the OS to 6.5.1 and then re-add the 4th drive ??
Will this possible cause a problem with the data on the 3 HDD currently in the NAS

Updating to 6.5.1 shouldn't cause any problem, though of course the data is at greater risk when the volume is degraded.
It'd be nice if 6.5.1 resolved it, but I'd be surprised if that happened.
