We can also remove a disk from the volume by clicking Remove. The volume will still be available but in a non-redundant state. An additional disk failure would render this volume unusable.

Note: The Remove operation is a maintenance feature. NETGEAR recommends that you do not use it in a live environment. Its function is equivalent to hot-removing the
