Ok,, so what do I do from here?
There is no option to rebuild it.

also, do they physically mark warranty replacement hard drives?
check the punch mark on the top of the left drive--

you get to rebuild it when you replace the drive that failed with an identical drive

in a perfect world...

hmm,
so now what do i need to do?
(I dont see the point in buying so small a HDD)
If I dissconnect the bad drive do I delete the array software/unbuild the Array?

pull the dodgy one out, stick another drive in of the same size and it will rebuild itself :)

they track the serial numbers

as aussie said, throw another 500g in to replace to crook one and in a perfect world it will rebuild itself

or a bigger one if you cant find a small one.
the raid will only use the smallest size
