Looks like i have the same problem.
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 with 6 Seagate ST2000DL003 9VT166 2TB drives. This morning, after several months of no problems, my disk 1 is reported as "dead". I replace it with a brand new drive (same Seagate model), but the new drive is still not detected and the NAS continues to report disk 1 as "dead". Tried pulling it out and re-seating it, but nothing changes. I have not tried replacing the previous "dead" drive yet, but will try that now.
The log files don't show any problems with disk 1.
