Ok, my #homelab NAS took a power hit last night. Power went off across the whole house for like 5 seconds. It was in a temporary location and not on a UPS. Since it has come back, it does not see any of its hard drives.
This is how amazing the mastodon #selfhosting community is, though. I came here to start typing out the problem and try to ask for help. I had tried an awful lot of things and nothing was working. So as I carefully reproduced the error, and made sure to take some photos and screenshots that I was going to share... it started working.
Thanks mastodon crew! You all are the best rubber ducks that money can't buy.

What I think was wrong was something with the way the PCIe was negotiating with the card. I am just guessing, but maybe the power surge caused something to get into a weird state? I know so little. I'm just guessing.
I made some changes to my PCIe BIOS settings, then changed them back, and that is when it started working again.
Oh, and it's on a UPS now. Even in its temporary location.

@paco I bet that NAS won't run again unless it's on a battery after that. Been there done that!

@paco this was the main use of stack overflow, too!

@paco
I got the alert that it was down so I connected in and fixed it. Sorry it took so long. -
