Does it show in RAIDar?
Sounds like you could have a bad disk.
Note that when you do a factory reset via the boot menu the system will run a few checks then wait 10 minutes before proceeding to wipe the disks. When you did the factory reset did you see what happened after the 10 minute countdown expired?

thanks for the help, it is one of the disks or possibly all, I threw my ssd in there and rebuilt the os and it was fine and even updated to 6.6.x. looks like I will need to invest in some more drives soon as my synology is getting low on room.
suprised one of the disks just didnt drop out of the array and continue running

The OS is installed onto the disks. We use RAID for the OS volume so if disks fail the logs stored on the OS volume hopefully aren't lost.
Disks can fail in different ways. Sometimes this can prevent booting from completing.
It is possible that the problem could have been something else.
Have you checked the health of your disks e.g. using SeaTools for SeaGate disks and WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics for WD disks?
