We don't recommend it here. One big reason is that you need to do a resync every time you swap the disks. That takes quite a while, and if the remaining drive fails during the process you will lose the data on the NAS.
Backing up to a second USB drive is a better strategy. You could get a USB dock for your internal drive, which would preserve your investment (and your internal drive is higher quality than a typical USB drive).

How can I solve this issue?Try rebooting the NAS first, and see if either the status resolves, or a second sync starts.
If neither of those happens, then simply remove the second drive with the NAS running. After a few seconds, hot-insert it (again with the NAS running). It should start a second resync.
