Well googling didn't help. But even if you could find the meaning of the error I'm not sure how you would resolve it. Better to back everything up that you need and replace.

Any recommendations for new hard drives?

I already have 2 of these in a Synology NAS:

Should I go for another to replace the broken internal HD? Or should I go for an SSD like this:

And then add an old smaller SATA from an old XP machine as a slave to save the odd file or two?

An SSD will drastically improve the speed of your PC. If you don't need massive storage for your 'main' drive (which with a NAS, you probably don't) SSD would be the way to go.

Plus no mechanical parts, so less likelihood of the SSD going wrong in the future whereas a standard HDD is always susceptible to mechanical failure.
