Hello Wristel,
Welcome to the community!
It is not safe to remove one of the disks from a RAID 0 configuration, This RAID level has no redundancy. When booting up the NAS, both disks should always be inserted to it.
RAID 0 distributes data across multiple disks, resulting in improved disk performance compared to systems that do not use RAID formatting. The total capacity of your storage system equals the capacity of the smallest of your disk drives times the number of disks. RAID 0 is available on volumes consisting of two or more hard disks.
The problem could be one of the disks is faulty, did you configure the email alerts in the FrontView? It is so you will receive reports including disk errors. For now I do not recommend removing any of the disks.
RAIDiator is what you call the firmware of the NAS, I apologize but it did not make sense when you said "there is no RAIDiator for OSX", you must be referring to RAIDar which has version for Mac OS X. Its purpose is to just detect the NAS to show it's current IP address and status. I suggest download and install it to see if your computer sees it and if it is visible on the network.
Hope this help! I look forward to your update.
Regards,
Its a long time since i started up the NAS and that was on my old PC... just using mac's at the moment...
