Thanks for all the help. I successfully added two new 1 B drives and am wokring at recovering the dta from the two 500GB drives I removed. I am also investigating the best backup system to this back up system using the USB backup funciton.

Thank you again!

Hope your year delivers you success and happiness

Hello penyart,

What RAID level is it using?

If that is XRAID (RAID1 automatically on ReadyNAS Duo), you should be able to recover data without the failed disk leaving the one that is not reporting dead/faulty inserted.
