FWIW, even if spindown is working, it doesn't seem likely that it is actually the cause of your problem. Spindown wouldn't kick in until well after boot ( I think the default threshold is 5 minutes) - and your NAS isn't booting at all. So I am thinking that something else might be wrong.
That is one reason for looking in journalctl, and also one reason I suggested trying to mount the data volume in tech support mode.
It is also possible to test the disks with smartctl.
