However,.if.the.hard.drives.are.created.into.various.levels.of.RAID,.you.cannot.hot.swap.all.the.hard.drives.at.the.same.time..
Hot.swapping.all.the.hard.drives.will.cause.a.loss.of.data,.and.the.RAID.volume.will.need.to.be.re-created.again..Different.levels.
of.RAID.required.various.numbers.of.hard.drives.remaining.in.the.ShareCenter®.Pro.

volume.must.first.be.rebuilt.before.another.hard.drive.can.be.hot.swapped,.otherwise.this.will.also.result.in.a.loss.of.
all.data.and.the.RAID.volume.will.have.crashed.
