I'd separate Chrome/certificates from the main problem.
At present you do not have RAID redundancy, so a second disk failure will destroy your data. Inserting the replacement disk will rebuild the array, but that process does create some stress on the disks, and it won't complete unless all the sectors on the remaining disks can be read. So while you are waiting for the replacement drive to arrive, you should be updating your backups (at least for critical data).
As far as Chrome goes, it will not accept any self-signed cert unless you add it to the trusted certificate store for the OS. For windows, that means solving the cert problem in IE - then Chrome will inherit it. It will still complain if the IP address doesn't match the real IP address. So if you access the NAS over the internet with port forwarding, you'll still see the error. If it really bothers you the simplest answer is to use FireFox when accessing the NAS. It lets you store permanent cert exceptions easily.
