Hi Jenn C,
Thanks for your help.
Yes the NAS finally accepted the new drive, it took 3 reboots to get the NAS to start syncing, but it got there in the end.

Hello davjo3,
It is unprotected because you had 1 failed disk out of 3 and the replacement is synching. Once it is done, that is the time it will be protected.
Is the replacement disk identical with the failed one? Can you also post the current FW version?
This SN you have posted appears to be registered but the support and hardware warranties are expired. If you can access the NAS, back up the data. If you cannot but can when the replacement disk is not inserted, please back up the data.
Welcome to the community!
