Ready nas NV+ booting problem HDD?

Hi, I have a readynas NV+,with 4 HDDs of 2TB. Suddenly I couldn't access my files anymore.
Did a reset but it hangs on booting. It also failed to get to the front page via Raidar.
I bought a 2nd hand Readynas NV+, with 4 1TB.
I put the 4x1TB HDD drives in my own Readynas NV+ and it works well.
so the problem is not the readynas nv+ itself.

I put my own 4x2TB hdd in the bought 2nd hand readynas nv+.
Now it's this one hanging with the same drives (my 4x2TB) on boot.
How do I find out which disk is broken, or have I really lost everything.
How do I find out, and is there anything to fix,
all family videos and photos are on it, and more important information.

I used translate, thanks.

    Problem solved.
    hooked up 3 HDD to a desktop Computer

    With recovery software, it could find all maps. 5,4TB

    and it was all possible to recover.

    Unfortunately, you have learned that RAID isn't enough to keep your data safe.  Hopefully you can get it back, and then put a backup plan in place.

    What kind of reset? A factory default (sometimes called factory reset) is destructive.

     

    Can you connect the disks to a Windows PC (either with SATA or a USB adapter/dock)?  If so, try testing them with vendor tools - Seatools for Seagate, WD's Dashboard for WDC.  Run the long generic test on each (which will take a couple hours).
