• RAID disk replacement with spares before potential failure
  If NAS drives are failing, indicated through system slow down, S.M.A.R.T. values, or DA Drive Analyzer predictions, affected disks in a RAID group can be replaced at any time using spare disks. This improves system reliability and removes the need for RAID rebuild.
