Ultra 2 Plus won't boot - support case #18604734

Ah! I didn't know you could log into the ReadyNAS OS and run things. Hadn't really thought about. But if it's really a Unix box underneath, I should have expected that some expert Unix guys could figure that out (I'm not).

Support didn't answer my last response that I already related how the boot menu didn't work (could select a mode, but it wouldn't execute when you pressed reset again) and RAIDar and Frontview could not see it (because it never booted). I suspect that either the flash went bad, or the 4.2.20 update didn't install cleanly (but the Ultra did reboot cleanly and let me create a share and write a bunch of test files to it). It was the next shutdown cycle where it died.

I already have one QNAP 219P+ here, but it has a 1.5TB disk size limit (still does as far as I can tell). I may try the Synology 212+ which is also highly reviewed on SmallNetBuilder. But their name is too hard to remember most of the time... ;<)
