RN104 crashed and stuck at "booting" or "Updating"[FW 6.2.2]
ReadyNAS RN104 – 5 months old, so now out of 90 day warranty 2x 3TB Seagate ST3000VN000 in XRAID2 mode. Though the 90 day phone/chat support has expired, there is an email support ticket (# 24562661...

I pushed the 3rd RAID disk (slot 1) in "hot" while the unit was booted off disk 4.
To my surprise, the 104 started resyncing the RAID ... as if I had "replaced" disk 1 ... wow.
That was fortunate. That's certainly not something we recommend.

I'd be ready to get another ReadyNAS purely because of the support I see in this forum.
Glad I was able to help.
Getting a good backup strategy in place is vital and it's good that you've learned that lesson. It doesn't matter which device you use. Important data should not be stored on just the one device.
