Hi everyone! If your Synology NAS has crashed due to failed hard drives, here's what you can do to fix it.
First, identify which drive is faulty by navigating to Storage Manager in the Synology DSM. The failed drive will be marked as "Crashed". Once you've found the faulty drive, turn off the NAS and carefully remove it.
Next, replace the failed drive with a new one of the same or larger capacity and turn the NAS back on. In Storage Manager, select the Storage Pool and click on "Repair". The NAS will start the repair process, which can take several hours.
If the NAS still won't start up, try rebooting it or booting into Safe Mode. If that doesn't work, check the power supply, cables, and network connection.
If the issue persists, consider restoring the NAS to its factory settings, but remember that this will erase all data on the device. So, make sure you have a backup before proceeding.
In summary, to fix a Synology NAS that has crashed due to failed hard drives, identify the faulty drive, replace it with a new one, repair the Storage Pool, and then try rebooting or booting into Safe Mode. If the issue persists, consider restoring the NAS to its factory settings.
