RN-314 Replaced HDD with WD Red 3TB NAS
Greetings,
Got a replacement HDD, WD Red 3TB NAS - 5400RPM for 1 of 4 Seagate 3TB Barracuda- 7200RPM drives. Unit is 4+ years old.
Error on display states “data degraded”. GUI was not show...
Thanks for the troubleshooting walk through, will attempt today. So I performed a backup to a USB drive. If unit is bad, I should be able to restore from that, correct? Or could I use the drives that I have and populate a new RN with those same disks?

If you get a new ReadyNAS, you could either start fresh, and restore files from your backup, or migrate your disks directly to the new OS-6 NAS.
If you migrate, the volume would still be degraded, but if your problem is actually with the chassis hardware you'd be able to resync with your new disk.
It is important to have an up to date backup, since your data is at risk. So it's good that you took care of that.
