As per message 4 above, The unit now initally shows both disks present when booting then appears to not see them and gives an error.
The unit at this point stays on but will not respond to ANYTHING. I have to remove the power lead to shut the uinit down again.
I have removed each disk in turn and connected to a windows computer. The show up in "my computer" but they are not readable. I assume this is to do with the file systen the NAS uses.
The drives also show up in Disk Management. If I right click on any part of the drive I have the option to:
Convert to dynamic disk.
Delete Volume.
What file system does the NAS use? And why not use the NTFS file system.
Then it would be possible to connect to a standard computer and retreive data.
Wouldn't that be the logical way to format & store data in a NAS?

We are using BTRFS. The ReadyNAS is a Linux machine not a Windows machine.
BTRFS is the best filesystem available for Linux at this time and is necessary for many of the features on our ReadyNAS systems such as unlimited snapshots, bit-rot protection etc.
The test we wanted you to run was to test the disks using the vendor's tool e.g. SeaTools if a SeaGate disk or WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics if a WD disk.
