Failed to expand volume with disk Model: WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 from Channel 5. Volume requires drive capacity to be the same size or larger before volume expansion can begin.
Does the System to really want me to replace the last 2 3TB bays with 8TB I wonder?
Note it was telling you it can't expand the volume (which is true). Though it is a confusing message to get on a disk replacement.

but the numbers are correct arent they for what I should have (raid 5 X-Raid) The only difference is the 8TB in by for is a WD Red Plus (7200 RPM) while the others are 8TB Red at 5400
The volume size is correct.
Thanks but there is a red light on the NAS drive bay(sorry I wasn’t clear above)
- The Disc check on the NAS said Drive 4 failed. Do I guess I order a new drive and get this replaced

If so, you should be able to exchange it with the seller. The vendor warranty generally gives you a recertified drive with a one-year warranty, the seller should give you a new one.
If it's not new, then start by checking the warranty status at the vendor's website. That will require the serial number.
- Sadly none in the country at the moment.
The red light on the nas shows bay4 but the disc check actually said bay5 is faulty could the red light still mean it is trying to resync even though the OS and the web GUI says it’s finished?
