Network connection issues with ReadyNAS RR4360X
My company purchased a ReadyNAS RR4360X a while back and we just put it into production recently in the hopes of eventually replacing a smaller capacity ReadyNAS 4312. The RR4360X is similar to the 4...
I'm not surprised the XRAID button is absent. XRAID can't handle multiple volumes in the same chassis, and a 60-drive single volume would be a really bad idea (if Netgear even wanted to program in all the expansion possibilities). So I don't think that's anything related to your issue.

Thanks for the feedback. I just found it odd that the button is completely missing because in the context help for RAID, it still mentions X-RAID. And it's referenced in the Volume settings too (see ReadyTIER screenshot attached). We have another ReadyNAS configured with a single RAID 10 volume so since X-RAID isn't possible, the button is there but grayed out although to your point, that NAS only has 12 drive bays. I would think it would be the same for this NAS even with the extra bays since you don't have to use all of them.
You mentioned that a 60-drive single volume would be a really bad idea. Right now, we have 24 12TB drives in a single volume. What are best practices for number of drives per volume with ReadyNAS? I believe my manager wanted to add additional drives to this same volume eventually.
