I'm not sure exactly how RAIDar works but I believe it sends a packet to the NAS to wipe it. Not sure if an I.P. conflict would be an issue. However if you didn't do anything with RAIDar (e.g. choose RAID mode etc.) then it couldn't be a RAIDar bug. There'd be nothing initiated from the NAS itself that could cause a different NAS to be wiped. The only possible way would be if there was a bug in RAIDar.
You're sure the password wasn't the same on the NAS that was wiped and you didn't select that NAS by mistake?
On the NAS that was wiped was "Disable Journaling" checked or unchecked?
