Remove Unneeded Drive

Hi! Drive 1 of our ReadyNAS NV+ with a configuration of X-RAID is beginning to fail. The following is the list of drives. Disk 1 Seagate ST31000520AS 931 GB Disk 2 Seagate ST31000520AS 931 GB Disk 3 Seagate ST31000520AS 931 GB Disk 4 Seagate ST31000520AS 931 GB Since we are no where near capacity with our storage, I was considering removing drive 1 but not replacing it. How should I go about doing this? Please let me know if I need to convey more info for the answer. Thanks!

You will need to make a backup, download your configuration, then do a factory reset with the drive removed (probably should move drive 4 into drive 1's slot)

After that completes, your data will be gone and you will be using the default configuration (including password).

Then re-install any add-ons, upload your config file, and restore files from backup (in that order).
