Double disk failures perhaps happen more often than you think. There are certainly posters here who have lost arrays due to double failures. Even with RAID you do need some form of backup.
That said, I suggest you use your 90-day phone support, and open a case. Netgear should be able to do a deeper dive into your logs, and may be able to sort out what happened.
With the failure rates of modern discs, to have two genuine failures out of four discs one second apart is so unlikely the odds against it are astronomical. There's clearly a common cause, especially since both drives now appear to be working fine again. As this system IS my backup I am not going to back up my backup - this is just my insurance against something happening to the original data.
I've set up a new array now and I waited until it had finished syncing before re-creating the shares. Now I'm copying the data back again, and will watch it carefully. If the wheels fall off again I'll return the box as faulty and buy another brand, as a backup system I can't trust is no use to me.
