New drive not being used in RAID, management service offline
Im using a ReadyNAS202 running 2 x 2TB WD red drives I noticed my Time Machine backups were starting to fail and then realised one of my disks was degraded. I replaced that with a new one earlier ...
I don't remember making the choice, how is this determined?

XRAID is the default, so if you didn't choose FlexRAID you are running XRAID.
Can you post a screenshot of the volumes page in the admin web ui?
Ok sure, yep definitely never chose FlexRAID.
I can't get into the web admin UI, it seems to kind of accept my credentials then time out.RAIDar says "Management service offline" and diagnostics shows "Failed to start ReadyNAS System Daemon"

Was the new disk formatted when you installed it?
Does entering
cat /proc/mdstattell you that the array for the data volume (md127) is resyncing?
You could try testing sdb (the new disk) with smartctl.
I didn't do anything to format the new disk before inserting it, I didn't think I would need to and I'm not sure how I would go about doing that?
proc/mdstat is giving me this
======
root@TXHReadyNAS:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md127 : active raid1 sda3[1]

To use smartctl, would the below command be correct? As I'm not clear on how to specify the device type. The response I get at this point is the same for sda and sdb
======
root@TXHReadyNAS:~# smartctl --all dev/sdb
smartctl 6.6 2017-11-05 r4594 [armv7l-linux-4.4.218.alpine.1] (local build)

Please specify device type with the -d option.Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary
