A surge could have created some damage. Do you use a UPS?
The WD Red has a 3-year warranty, so you can RMA it. Western Digital will send you a recertified replacement, not a new disk. I'd probably do the RMA, but also buy a new replacement disk for the NAS. Then either use the RMA replacement somewhere else, or keep it on hand as an emergency spare.
The messages say disk 1 is failing (data can't be read) - I'd replace it.
You could get more details by downloading the log zip file and looking in disk_info.log. Another way to confirm disk health is to test the disks in a Windows PC with Western Digital's lifeguard.
How old is the disk?
Thank you Stephen. I bought the first disk in Sep 2014.

Thanks Stephen.
This really was very helpful as you showed me things I didn't know.
I was able to create a RMA and will also buy a new replacement.
