    A lot of folks have had trouble with DM drives in a NAS (not just ReadyNAS either).  I suggest WDC Red or Seagate VN drives, which have a lot less problem posts.

     

    You can try powering down the NAS (then remove drive and the power cord for a bit).  Then power back up, and try reinserting the drive.
