  • i did factory reset with the one good hard drive in each of the nas bays all installed without any issues

    So the nas will work normally as long as you use only a certain one of the original disks, and you were unable to get vendor tools to recognise any of the other 3 original disks?

    It seems unlikely , but perhaps all 3 of the other disks are in fact, as the nas has suggested, bad.
