Hi, I had the Volume: Volume data health changed from Degraded to Dead. I hotswapped the Volume 1 today, with an 8TB drive and now the other 3 drives are showing red, and the new drive is bl...
More information is needed here. Start from the beginning as to what you saw and what you did.
"Degraded" means one of the drives was already dropped from the array -- most likely due to a drive failure -- so you lost redundancy. If your insertion of the new drive (I assume you mean you swapped drive 1, you can't just swap out a volume) was intended to replace that drive, it sounds like you either swapped the wrong one or a second one failed during the re-sync of the new one.
Did the replacement drive have any previous formatting or data? After the swap, did the NAS start to re-sync the new drive or just go straight to "dead"?
The new drive had no formatting.
After the swap nothing happened.
I then though that I removed the wrong drive. So I removed Drive 2 and swapped it with the new drive 1
