ReadyNAS NV+ V1 dead disk 1 drives 2 and 4 showing 0mb free
Came home from vacation only to find my NV+ v1 frozen. Tried to unplug and reboot, and it and nothing. Disk 1 was making noise, and I read that sometimes if disk 1 went out you would need to replace that before it would boot. Got the new drive in yesterday, replaced it, and no boot. Next step was refreshing the OS, so used the reset button on the back to do that. After that didn't work I tried putting drive one back in, and replacing one drive at a time with the new drive I had just purchased. Still nothing. Went back and swaped out drive 1 again with the new drive and this time it booted, but was still telling me I had a dead drive on the frontview.
Once I was able to get fully booted it showed the following..
Slot 1 - no drive
Slot 2 - 0mb free
Slot 3 - 928 gb free
Slot 4 - 0mb free
Looking at the logs it seems that drive 4 had been failing but for some reason I never got the email notifications.
I am afraid that I've lost my data..... Any ideas?

Hi CVeit,
Welcome to the community!
For this kind of scenario, it would be better if you will contact our support team to get some help. It is possible that you had more than one drive that failed during this time and data recovery is your only option to get your files back.
Kind regards,
