When a disk fails, it should be replaced. To replace a disk it's important to locate the correct one. It's advised to write down the disk's serial number and it's physical slot of the NAS. Since the TerraMaster NAS has no indicator LED, it's only possible to locate the drive in TrueNAS using `ls -l /dev/disk/by-path` otherwise.

It's better to replace a failed disk offline. Shut down the NAS, switch the disk, turn it back on. In worst case, e.g. when replacing the wrong disk, the pool will not be found and considered offline. This prevents disaster.

Before adding the disk to the pool, run a SMART test of the type `conveyance` to check for issues from shipping.
