I am able to reproduce your issue, and we've got a fix ready. If you update to 6.6.0, then enable Secure Diagnostics Mode and PM me the 5-digit number, I can get your system patched.
RAIDar might let you download the logs even if the web ui isn't responding.

4th Raid 6 cration Lockup again an hour ago.
email copy/past:
Thanks for responding to my Community post for help.
I bought a 4th WD 3TB HD ( same as the other 3 HD’s)
since 9-21-2016 Twice I’ve tried creating Raid 6 with encryption & it kept freezing up
then I tried Twice to just do a Raid 6 with NO encryption.
Both time the 3rd day the activity light stops blinking, RAIDar nor ui Web won’t connect at all.
I’ve tried from my New MacBook Pro & old Windows PC.
Firmware is UTD.
Several days ago I did a ping and it did return 5 responses.
When it freezes holding the power button does NOTHING.
I bought this RN214 March 2016 and it’s worked Perfect with the 3 - 3TB’s.
I only created a Raid 5 one time and I had complete access to the ui Web when it
was creating the volume.
I’m not sure why NOTHING seems to work now.
Every time I start the Volume creation it states 46+ hours, when it freezes on the
3rd day and I have HARD reboot it automatically picks up and says 25+ hours left.
I hope you can find something in the Logs to help.

I guess I'll let the reboot, volume creation continue until I hear from you or it locks up again.
Maybe we need to Reverse the Firmware to the RN214 original, ( where it created the Raid5 perfectly)
do the Raid 6.. then update the Firmware.
But.. is my 3 month old RN214 broken ??
The Reboot > automatic Restart of the new RAID 6 creation has Froze up
with a " - - - Out of Memory 354 " error msg again.
I've got this error before when I let the Reboot restart the Raid 6.
.
When I Destroy & start a new volume there's no error msg, just a Freeze up.
