Xraid 2 formatted disk
Is it possible to put a X-Raid 2 formatted disk (WD Caviar Red 3TB) into a caddy and read it as a usb drive?
It shouldn't matter in your case, though it would if you were running 4.1.x firmware (nv+ v1 or duo v1).
Linux-reader (linked above) should let you read the files from a PC. Note that some SATA->USB adapters don't support GPT drives (e.g., have a 2 TB drive size limit).
Note that linux-reader won't work with the new OS6 systems (it can't read the btrfs file system used by OS6). But it should work with 4.2.x (and hopefully 5.x).
After you have the data, try running WDC's Lifeguard program to check the drives. If you purchased your NAS near your join date you should still have some Netgear warranty left - so if it isn't the drives, you should be able to RMA the NAS.
Maybe post back with your NAS info (type and firmware) and what you find.
