Any idea why the WD Red 3TB is not accepted. 

- It's not dead, I tried two WD Red 3TB

- It's not too small, it's actually 1TB larger than the three 2TB disks remaining.

It's not accepted because your NV+ doesn't support disks > 2 TB.

It's a very old platform, and can't handle GPT formatting.  The disk sizes also can't be correctly detected, which is why it is reported as too small.

There is no workaround.
