ReadyNAS Pro 6: will not start to boot menu #24685352
I use a ReadyNAS Pro 6 (RNDP6630D-200) here at the office to store, view and edit hundreds of hours of standard definition video. The unit was purchased in July 2012 and has worked without issue for o...
Thanks for the quick response, Ixa!
The NAS is comprised of six 3TB drives (that shipped with the unit).
There was no email notification, but I don't have that feature enabled. The NAS is only connected through a Netgear switch to a Mac Pro and two iMacs, and does not face the Internet. But the last time it was fully operational (yesterday morning), all the discs were functioning normally.
Using a different power cord as well as plugging into a different power outlet produced no change to the situation.
Would removing the discs and powering up be a worthwhile test?
And FWIW, even though I don't suspect a disk failure, about 80% of the data on the NAS disks are backed up in another location (and another 10% can be recovered by other means), so even though it'd be nice to not have to start fresh, it wouldn't be the end of the world if necessary.

Have you tried using other power cord or plugging your NAS to other power outlet?
