Hi @DPH1968 

 

Have you tried to install RAIDar, to see what it reports of status?

Link here: https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads 

 

Scroll down to the RAIDar section and install "RAIDar 6.5 for Windows". Afterwards, open RAIDar and check what it say about the NAS.

That is a good place to start.

 

 

Cheers

Yes, this can happen sometimes. Usually a problem with the filesystem on the internal flash (the OS), a failing internal flash (which would mean bad chassis) or corrupt files on the internal flash. You can do a USB recovery to re-install the content of the Flash.

Worth a go
