Those disks are not on the compatibility list and many users have problems with them. Are all 3 disks the same model?
I would suggest testing all 3 disks using vendor tools (WD lifeguard) first.
Do you have a backup of the data on the readynas? It doesn't sound like it.

These are all old disks, correct? The wd20ears was discontinued by WDC in 2011.
They do work in RAID (I have 4 in my NV+) but you really should use new drives in your NAS. I'd recommend WDC Red drives (2 TB model is WD20EFRX).
