ReadyNAS104 - "READYNAS does not detect any discs"
I've had two 14Tb drives inserted into my ReadyNAS104, working fine, under, I think X-RAID (the top of the four options to the left of the Volume screen). I went to shut the NAS down as the power ...
I've cold- and hot-swapped the two discs multiple times. They never get seen (except briefly on the front panel display of the ReadyNAS.
I've recreated my account, and now the ReadyNAS web interface is saying "No volumes exist, select discs to create a volume", but it doesn't show either of the inserted discs in the graphic, nor will it let me click on "New Volume".
I tried a reboot with just the first (original) disc, in the hope that it was the one with the account details I'd set up. That seemed to work, albeit with the single disc showing in red. I added the second disc, and now have it working (and visible on the network) as before.
However, should I still be creating a "Volume"? I have no option to do that (the "New Volume" button" doesn't respond).
I am worried that the next power-down will result in the same issue.

X-RAID only supports one volume.
This sounds like a power problem. There is enough to spin up only one drive at a time. It could be the power brick itself, which is easily replaced, or one of the internal regulators, for which repair is not available. Another user recently had this issue, and a blinking LED on the supply itself was a clue that it was the brick.
This is a suitable replacement supply, if you want to give that a try: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NCG1P8X
