6.3 RAID Recovery - Hot-Swapping Drives
The QNAP NAS supports hot-swapping drives. When one drive fails in RAID 1/5, up to two
drives fail in RAID 6/RAID 10*, replacing failed drives with a healthy ones will automatically
trigger QTS to rebuild the RAID. Follow the steps below to hot-swap drives when drive
failures occur in a RAID configuration. See section 6.2 for detailed instructions on how to
install a new drive.
* One drive each in the RAID 1 pair
Follow instructions below for hot-swapping:
1. Log into QTS as administrator and check the storage pool status in “Storage Manager”
> “Storage” > “Storage Space”. There will be a list of all available storage pools.
