Should I ignore the problems I had with disk 2 and 4, or are there other tests I should run?
Have you experienced any more issues with this setup or have you been running smoothly since your initial two failures? My ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus with 6x ST2000DL003-9VT166 (CC32) experienced a similar failure. /dev/sdb disappeared on hour 42 of operation. Health listed the Status as Dead (not Failed) with the SMART+ button grayed out, and Volume Settings had a missing entry with no Locate button.
Pulling and reinserting the drive did nothing. Inserting a fresh drive did nothing. The disk interface was just dead. I cold rebooted the ReadyNAS, the disk happily resynced, and SMART reported no errors.
