Readynas ultra 6 won't go past readynas screen
Ho all, after many years I've decided to tackle my readymas issue. I had an issue with it 3 years back and paid a tech to look at it, he said 2 drives had collapsed and replaced them. It worked again...
Top one i have 4 of the top photo, 1 of the second and 1 WD.
WDis running up. 2 of the Seagate's are running up...
the refurbished one and 2 of the top ones are not.
The kids say one is certainly gone as it clicks then shuts down. Another is clicking but not shutting down, but not running up. Third is just spinning but not running up.
The other two they aren't 100 % sure as they say there may be other reasons.
It's odd as I bought it with all WD NAS drives.... but they aren't there now.
Now I'm lost as to what to do, as I'm pretty sure if its more than 2 drives gone my data is lost? I cant recall what raid I ran though, if it was mirror or stripped. We cant read data though.

The normal setup is XRAID - RAID-5 in your case, so it would be striped. It's possible you have RAID-6 (dual redundancy).
If more than two disks have failed, then unfortunately the data is lost - a data recovery service might be able to get some back, but it would be expensive.
But let's see how the tests go. They can use Seatools for the four Seagate disks, and the WD drive utilities package for the two WD Red drives.
