No answers to your problem I am afraid, just a couple of observations mainly for the benefit of others, but hopefully someone will chime in to help you.
1. The Readynas RN10222D is not a "Netgear business NAS" as you have stated above, it is a Home Use NAS.
2. Re: your comment above "Knowing how long these updates take, I left the unit over night and went to access the following day" That shoud not have been necessary as Firmware updates, under normal conditions, usually complete in 5-15 minutes.
Sorry I can´t be of more help.

Which firmware did you update from? It sounds like you may not have followed the recommended firmware update path, though the update presented by the GUI would be the recommended one. It wou only be if you were doing a manual update that you might not follow the recommended update path.
Perhaps try USB Boot Recovery with 6.6.1 Beta

Thanks for the update. I would suggest putting a scratch disk (must not be from your array) in the replacement, updating to 6.2.5 if running older firmware than 6.2.1 and then using this workaround to update to 6.6.1: ReadyNAS OS 6: RN100/RN2120 cannot update due to invalid checksum
If the replacement is already running 6.4.0 (or later) you can update the replacement directly to 6.6.1.
Then power down, remove the scratch disk and move your disks to the replacement unit.
