Are Western Digital disks the worst, or is it just me?
I have had a ReadyNAS (RAID 10) for years. One disk failed, I purchased a spare and during rebuilt, a 2nd. one failed. Now I am not sure whether it is worth sending the disks to NETGEAR for recover...

That is a small sample. Disks can and do fail at any time. That's a key reason why backups are important.
For any brand there will be users who recommend staying clear based on their past experience.
Are you familiar with the recovery service by the NETGEAR company?
I have two experiences with 2 companies:
One was extraordinary. I sent the disks and the diagnostic was free: "We found all your data in disk A, but disk B is completely dead, with a massive hardware failure". The price was very reasonable (low 100s).
The second experience was horrible. They kidnapped the disks and demanded an $11,000 ransom.
