ReadyNAS 2100 RAID1, 4 disks. Wrong status?
I have an array RAID1 of 4 disks on ReadyNAS 2100.
I simulated a hard drive failure (just removing one from the NAS).
NAS reports the following messages
I think that the status is invalid. We still have two drives with a copy before the state "Not redundant" comes.

Disk removal detected. [Disk 4]
A disk was removed from the ReadyNAS. For full protection of your data volume, please add a replacement disk as soon as possible.
Status: Not redundant. A disk failure will render this volume dead.

- Can you post a screenshot of the volumes page in Frontview?
- Ok, it's here.

Also I wouldn't recommend using "Green" disks.
