Hi rdebay,
Could you kindly try to send the logs of your NAS?
How do I send all logs to ReadyNAS Community moderators?

Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming there was an I/O error which caused the user RAID to fail, and the system RAID partition is still good. The latest SMART report doesn't show any issues. Since SMART is reporting that the drive is good, I'm going to resync the drive and start pricing replacement drives. Is there any way to resync without pulling the drive and plugging it back in? If not, what steps would I take? Should I pull and reinsert the drive while it's hot, or should I power down, remove, power up, power down, reinsert, power up?

Good day rdebay,
Have your most important files be copied out first to another location (PC, USB HDD). This is fail safe if in case another drive fails during the sync process.
How do I replace a disk in my ReadyNAS Duo v2 or NV+ v2?
If you have an option to gracefully shutdown the NAS, I would advise you to do so. Insert the new drive and power up.
