Data gone, no worries about that, just want to use again RN1100
Hello Coucil: Leson learned from long time: ReadyNas is not for single point of recover important data. All my data now is gone, no worries, mirror copy made, and no emergency/disaster for the...

Do a factory default, which will reformat the disks (losing any data, and requiring you to reconfigure the NAS)..
USB/TFTP won't solve your issue, because it is about what's on the disks, not what's in the flash memory.

That's a good piece of advice, thank you for that!
First HDD looks healty, the second is SYNC now, and in the meantime I will be "SeaTooling" the other drives.
The idea is not to waste the 1100, and to try raise it again if possible with all the time to do it.
Will see,

Hello Council,
As master mdgm suspected: two HDD are just out of combat, even Seatools DOS was unable to recover damage by low level format in 2 of the 4 HDD; therefore the comment about that particular Seagate model as a high failure drive is also confirmed at 50% in my case.
Now, What I like to do is to use the NV+ ver1 chassis that I have, and after pass the Seatool tests I replace the 500GB of the NV+ healty unit for the 2TB drives. For my surprise the NV+ is not booting any more.
The display error is "Firmware error"
I want just to install a fresh firmware, Which is my best option?
Thanks in advance.

These were unformatted disks?
Can you also check the status with RAIDar? "Corrupt Root" might show up if the disks were used. I haven't seen "Firmware Error" before.

Have you tried running the memory test boot menu option for a few passes?

Hello Stephen, thanks for your message.
The HDD were the previous used at the RN1100 that I'm trying to move to the NV+ ver1 chassis, therefore they preserve the data of that RAIDX arrange.
You were right just as Luke Skywalker about Vader: the screen on the NV+ shows "Bad firmware" while the RAIDar says "Corrupt root"
Should I follow master mdgm's suggestion testing the mem?
What's my best next move? USB firmware? TFTP?
Best regards and thanks in advance for the next advise.
