I suggest testing both drives in a Windows PC (connecting them either with SATA or a USB adapter/dock), and testing them with vendor tools - Lifeguard for Western Digital, and Seatoold for Seagate. Label the drives as you remove them from the NAS.
If you have data you need to offload, you can use R-Linux for Windows with disk 1. Unfortunately that won't work for disk 2, so if disk 1 failed you'd be out of luck.
One other thing you can try is zeroing the working disk with Lifeguard or Seatools. Then put it back in the NAS and power up. The NAS should automatically do a factory install when it detects an unformated disk.
