taylord01 your ATA errors are due to a compatibility issue with WD drives that don't support TLER addressed in 4.1.7 (http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_4_1_8_Notes)
I would suggest you do the following:
1. Backup all data on the NAS
2. Verify backup is good
3. Upgrade to latest RAIDiator (currently 4.1.8: http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_4_1_8_Notes)
4. Verify update completed successfully
5. Do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) e.g. via System > Update > Factory Default in Frontview.
This will give you a clean setup on the latest firmware and also give you 4k sector alignment (if you don't do the factory reset write performance will likely be poor).
