Beyond me on how it's possible to operate a more than four years (!) old ReadyNAS OS 6 build, and not update once installed to something more current subsequently - before diving into an adventure of replacing all HDDs, starting from scratch, with a less common storage layout....

For the standard NAS operations, ssh and root access is simply not required. This is why Netgear excluded the support for abusing the NAS and the support provided due to incorrect handling.
Linux, end even less an embedded OS, barely compare to the simplicity of Mess-DOS.

Two RAID-1 volumes is a bit unusual, and it does have less capacity than XRAID/RAID-5. But it does have one advantage - recovery is much simpler than RAID-5, since the disks are mirrored.
Assuming that the issue is simply that the two disks are out of sync, the system should mount the volume with one disk removed, without needing to go in with ssh and use --really-force with mdadm. Of course there could also be btrfs file system corruption, which would be more difficult to deal with.
