There are a lot posters here who are under the impression that RAID fully protects them from any possibility of data loss. You clearly aren't one of them.
There's no time limit on inserting the new drive. The volume is of course degraded until you do. I haven't resync'ed my NV+ in years, so I am not sure how long that will take. with 500 GB drives, my guess is a couple of hours at most, but that is just a guess. A 3 TB drive on my Pro-6 takes 12-24 hours to resync, depending on what else the NAS is doing.
Both RAIDar and Frontview (the web admin interface) will show you some progress indications, especially if you hover the mouse over the "ball" icons. The estimate completion times are way off, and usually much longer than it actually takes.
