You'd only see "Click Setup" in the Info column in RAIDar for the NAS you factory reset (note a factory reset happens automatically on a system with blank, unformatted drives). If and only if you clicked setup during the 10 minute window, chose a RAID mode 9either X-RAID or Flex-RAID) and confirmed your choice RAIDar would then send a packet back to the NAS with this info and the factory default would commence. If you did nothing, no packet would be sent and after 10 minutes the NAS would decide to begin wiping the disks and setting up the RAID automatically.
For the NAS you didn't want wiped are you able to hook the drives up to a SATA port in a PC and check them using vendor tools?: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware ... isk_is_bad
