I took disk out and ran sea tools on it - every test they have on there and it passed everything - should I be concerned and should I push Seagate to accept the disk back (my warranty is still valid til 2014)?

Returning the drive to Seagate would just get you a refurbished replacement. If the NAS is performing normally I'd wait.
