RN104 shutdown because disks exceed safe temperature
Hello, I'm using a RN104 at firmware level 6.10.3. The ReadyNAS is equipped with 4 times Hitachi HUA721010KLA330 1TB SATA drives, all 4 drives building one RAID5 X-RAID volume. Today the RN104 sh...

But I've run 2TB and 3TB drives from the same family in both 2 and 4 bay legacy NASes running OS6.x and had no issues with high-intensity processes like initial sync or scrub (I don't use defrag, I think it's mostly a waste of time on RAID and it can quickly increase the space used by snapshots).
Still, it is weird that this happens repeatedly after a defrag. It does make me wonder if there is something off with the file system.
Another thing that HolgerGT86 could try is doing a factory reset, rebuild the NAS, and then reload the data from backup. The risk here is that the disks might overheat during the RAID sync. But the fact that they don't overheat during a scrub suggests that they won't.

I'll think about starting over from scratch and restore a backup. I'm not sure though how to reload all data from backup including the user access rights and share settings as I'm backing up the RN104 to 2 USB drives attached to it. Besides this the RN104 is used to store Mac time machine backups and Windows 10 backups. I'm afraid to lose/ break things, so I'll delay this activity to the autumn/ winter time.
Many thanks for all you support/ help. You may close this thread.
