ReadyNAS Duo v1 not completely booting up after replacing failed disk
Background
I have a ReadyNAS Duo V1 with a failing disk. System emails indicated :
Disk 2 did not pass SMART self-assessment test. Please replace this disk as soon as possible.
Growing SMA...
Finally done more detailed tests on the second disk I acquired and find faults. The cause seems to be a faulty disk. I have done a factory reset with the first 2TB disk I purchased and it's working fine, and faster than before, but obviously not in a RAID configuration.
Clearly I was too patien. My investment in testing tools will be put to good use whenever I buy new hard drives.
Many thanks to all contributors.
Let me qualify. What do you mean by clean?

You could try another reset, perhaps with only one disk in place. Then you could hot-insert the second after the NAS was set up.
