Certainly one of the disks is causing the problem. Try downloading the full log zip file. You can look at disk health in disk_info.log and look for disk errors in system.log and kernel.log. If that's not enough to figure out the problem, send a private message to one of the Netgear mods ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) and ask them to analyze the logs for you. Include a downloadable link to the full log zip in the request. You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
In the meantime, create or update your backup right away, as your data is at risk of loss.
To replace a disk, you hot-swap it - remove the current one, and insert the new (blank) one with the NAS running. Wait for the resync to complete before hot-swapping the next one.
