That indicates that drive has S.M.A.R.T. errors, that is a hardware fault, not software and the drive is either failing or has failed, that drive needs to be replaced.

If you click 'Show Details'' what is indicated?

The error you posted in your initial question also confirms a hardware problem with that drive.
