ReadyNAS supports hot-swap drive bays, so you do not need to power down your
storage system when replacing a disk.
If you are replacing a disk with a previously formatted disk, see the instructions in
Previously Formatted Disks on page 80.
WARNING: Replace one disk at a time. Wait for the volume to resynchronize your data
before replacing another disk. If you attempt to replace more than one disk at a time,
the system crashes.
