Apologies for my voice and slightly-slow talking at the start, I literally had just woken up to see this error!.. In this video I document the steps I took when a hard drive in my Buffalo TeraStation Live HS-DH-TGL/r5 NAS's RAID-5 array had failed.

I set this NAS up a long time ago and had completely forgotten what drives I used. It's made up of whatever spare bits I had around at the time and the NAS unit only cost me around £3 faulty as the internal fuse had gone and no drives were included.

The dead drive was a WD green 500GB that had seen a massive amount of use and abuse over the years in my previous gaming rigs so I'm surprised it hadn't died sooner!
I replace the dead western digital green drive with the only other 500GB HDD I have spare, a Seagate SV35.5 7200rpm disk.

I know people will have comments about me using non-RAID certified drives in a NAS solution, but this NAS is super old and slow, maxing out at around 120Mbps even though it has a gigabit ethernet connection!
It just holds a double-backup / mirror of some multitrack recordings, pro tools projects and my YouTube video archive of everything I've ever made/uploaded. The Synology Diskstation DS1815+ with WD red drives is my main NAS solution and holds another backup of all those files too.
