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...

To your immediate crisis: I suggest contacting netgear support (support.netgear.com), even if they charge. Someone from netgear might also PM you and offer to take a look remotely as a courtesy.
If the data is precious, you should back it up. RAID arrays (and all devices) will fail at some point. 8 TB sounds like a lot, but it can be backed up. 3 TB USB drives are down to ~$100 US, and it is practical to get a second NAS for backup.
BTW, how full is the NAS? The total capacity of your data volume is only around 8.2 TiB.
