Synology NAS. Replacing failed Hard Drive RAID 5 - Project

Synology NAS. Replacing failed Hard Drive RAID 5 - Project

Received a call for assistance. My customer mention that his Synology NAS isn't functioning well
The NAS is beeping non-stop and It has warning message with "Volume 1" degraded
I went down to have a check on it. Notice that 1 of the disk has failed
Luckily it has Data Protection turned on. Brought a replacement disk with the same brand and storage (TB) to replace it
Migrated his Hard Disk into a new NAS and Rebuild the RAID 5 array
Added one more disk into the Storage Pool now it has 10.8TB of storage space
Enabled the option to auto schedule Data Scrubbling as to lower the risk of data loss in the event of a drive failure and Data Consistency
