That disk has failed very badly. With that high an error count presumably there would have been some SMART errors occurring for quite some time.
Replacing that disk with a new disk would certainly be worth a try.
Do you have a backup? Is that up to date?

Are you sure you have a v2? Your profile shows that you bought a v1 just over 5 years ago now.
Please see How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2
Do you have a backup?

No, I have no backups.
The whole idea of having the Raid server was to provide safe (backedup in the array) storage.
