Hello MarcR,
Welcome to the community!
When you removed the disk 1 that has errors, were you able to access the files? With XRAID (RAID5 in your case since that is a 4-bay NAS), you are allowed to have 1 faulty disk and still have the data intact so you should still be able to see the files without one of the 4 disks.
If you are still able to and the new disk you are inserting is not being accepted, please make sure that new disk is empty an no partition. I suggest you check it with diagnostic tools.
Regards,
The two drives I tried were brand new, factory sealed. They're unlikely to have had any data on them, not even a partition.
Yes, the unit is working fine with or without the Ch1 disk. It's in X-RAID mode.
