ReadyNAS RND4000 v3 (NV+)
I've had a few NV+'s over the years, been through the failed PSU on the first NV+ I had, got it replaced, had it fail again, replaced it with a mini-ITX PSU and have lots of luck with it over the year...

Yeah, so I woke up to the same thing, device turned off on its own and when I go to power it back on, it turns on and looks like its booting and turns back off. I'm not going to play the same cat and mouse game trying to turn it off and on, I dug out my other NV+ and upgraded it from 4.1.9 to the 4.1.13 that the newer one was running and added 4 new drives to it, let it run all night, (its still on), now Im going to transfer the disks to this unit and see if the problem follows or not. I seem to remember that these devices really like to kernel panic and get hung up whenever a bad disk is encountered (although I don't suspect that, who knows, they are not the most reliable units in my opinion, Ive had nothing but problems with them once they get a few years old and out of warranty). We'll see, thanks for the input though, I wonder if I should just ebay a new PSU for the device, problem is, I want to make sure I get one that isnt one of the thousands that were built with a design flaw? Any suggestions? If I can get it to work correctly they are still a good deal, and seeing as what I remember paying for the diskless chassis, worth a 50.00 psu for sure.
Thanks again
