Of corse. The fan has become noisy as a result of the numerous times that I have cleaned it from dust.

You are correct you have to replace the drive one at a time and wait for the resync to complete before adding the other one.

You can also do hotswap, you don't need to turn off the NAS when replacing the drive.
