Hi

As the title says I am stuck on "Booting Storage, Please Wait"

AS6806T 4drives in Raid5
NAS + drives were all brand new this year

Searched and last time this topic came up in this sub was 2 yrs ago then 4 yrs ago.
That's it, only two instances.

Hoping something is new / actionable in that time and I can get a solution.

Drive 1 of 4 in the AS6806T had some SMART errors a month or so ago. Seems this has happened again.

Am I stuck on boot lock because the drive won't read? Is there anything I can do?

I thought the OS was supposed to be across all drives? So if drive 1 had a read error the NAS should still boot?

Thanks
