I have a bad sector on HD4. I can access the shared folders, but it is BRUTALLY slow. When I attempt to open files in QuickBooks, it freezes, the NAS beeps and notifies me about the bad sector on HD4.
My question is; If I remove the HDD with the bad sector, will things operate normally until I can replace the drive? Or will this depend solely on the RAID configuration of the drives?

¡Gracias!

This unit would be configured in RAID 5 by default. If that is still the configuration then you should be able to replace the drive with the bad sector and rebuild the array. I wouldn't recommend removing the drive and running on 3 drives for an extended period of time, that's just asking for an array failure.

Before you do anything, back up the data.
