Data Degraded

I started with a 3TB Drive in my RN204 and I just put a 6TB drive in. And now I'm getting Data Degraded??? What does that mean and what should I do?

    Can I just put another 3tb in as disc 3? So disc 1 = 3tb, disc 2 = 6tb, new disc 3 = 3tb. To get 6tb with redundancy

    That will work.  You are still wasting 3 TB of space on disk 2 of course.  If you put 6 TB into slot 3 you'd end up with 9 TB of space.
