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.

Thank you Stephen. I bought the first disk in Sep 2014.
I had quiet a number of spikes and surges because of tripping of the electric circuit. Maybe that has to do something with it?

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.

It seems that I have lost about a 1TB on data on disk 1. I can see the folders in explorer but when clicking on NETWORK-->NAS, it says the folder is empty.
RAIDar : RAID level 1 inactive, ; 0 MB (0%), of 0 MB used. I just loaded one disk to backuo the data.
System status is healty.
Volumes: Inactive disk, red colored with a green indicator.
If I load two disks, both disks are colored red with a green indicator.

I have created a RMA. Before I send back this drive is there a way to recover the data?

The snippet you posted is on the OS partition (which is formatted as ext on the RN100 series), not the data partition (which is btrfs).
Netgear has a data recovery service, you could try that. They will charge (and data recovery is expensive). There are some software packages you could also try - but I haven't used any, so I cannot recommend one.
