It is unlikely that your disk failed due to an upgrade. Typically, if you have used a disk for awhile but you aren't processing much data on it (it just sits around), then you don't activate any bad sectors, but upgrading/rebooting might cause it to pass over bad sectors and fall out,.
It looks like your drives have counted up a few errors historically (see smart_history.log), but not too many.

Your drive in bay 2 seems to have been collecting errors, as well. Not too many though.
Thanks for all the replies. :)
I'm backing up all the data on external drives right now (likely to take some time).
Is it likely that I need to replace the Bay 2 drive or could it be the NAS itself?
How can I proceed one all the data is backed up?
You can hook the disks up to a PC and test them using the vendors tools e.g. SeaTools for SeaGate disks or WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics for WD disks.
