What does the web admin page (or RAIDar) say about the disk health? Can you see SMART stats for both disks?

no, you can not see the smart was because the first disc is inactive and the second reserve, I tried several times to create the new volume, but same result.
With only the nas hard work and smart status is ok.You could try doing a factory reset with only one disk in place. If that works, then try hot-inserting the second drive and see what happens.
It is possible that the used unit is defective, it is also possible that one of the drives is failing.
