StephenB Actually I have enslaved the new disk on the desktop but it was not able to be detected nor be read. I have connected externally on my laptop but still no detection. So i suspect the NAS could not rebuilt the data while on 4 disks. So my worry is if the data is lost. I shutdown the NAS since i never wanted any further damages. Am getting a new disk then share the feedback with you.

FYI, Windows can't mount the disks due to the linux formatting, but the vendor tools (seatools in this case) can still detect them. Also, they should show up in the Windows Disk Manager.
So if you didn't check with those tools, it is worth another look.
If the new disk has failed out of the box, I suggest exchanging it for a Seagate Ironwolf instead of another surveillance-purposed drive.
