    You should be able to access the NAS normally over your network.

     

    It is possible to power down, remove the disk and connect the disk up to a PC and mount the volume, but that process does involve some steps (e.g. a handful of commands on the Linux shell, or using 3rd party software on Windows) and is really something that you should only consider doing if the chassis has died, you're not getting a new x86 ReadyNAS to move the disk to and there are some files missing from your backup.

     

    When you hot-add (add while the NAS is on) the new drive it will automatically be wiped and a resync will occur to sync it to the existing disk.
