Problem with ReadyNas duo RND2000

Hi guys!

I have firmware V4.1.6 on this very old NAS😀

I was backing up files from the NAS yesterday and for some reason the NAS froze...the on/off button did not work and I was forced to disconnect it. I tried to restart it and it will not boot and it has a continuous blue blinking led....

I wasn't worried about the files on the drives....have most of them ....

If I disconnet the drives then Raidar can find it but will not connect because of not booting fully....

I have tried to follow instructions for resetting this model and it still goes back to the continuous blinking blue led...

I have looked at the drives in linux and see now hardware problems....

How can I format these drives so that they are back to square one?
