Just had a failed hdd and switched everything off and pulled it out to send back to the supplier for replacement and now I can not access the drive with only one in it, from a icon on the desktop that I have mapped says z:\ is not accessable, the network path was not found.
If I plugged the faulty drive back in all is good, then I have to eject the drive while the unit is still running and still seems to work, is this correct? can you eject drives while the unit is running?

You should be able to access the data with only one drive from a RAID1 pair installed - without having to go through any tricks such as ejecting drives with the unit running.

I don't recall DLink making any recommendation on hot plugging drives, but the SATA connectors were designed for hot plugging, so you should have no problem hot unplugging - however - from experience, I will tell you that the unit will not correctly recognize any drive that is hot inserted.
