Hi and thanks for your advice.

I have a Western Digital My Book Live Duo with 2 x WD 3TB NAS Red HDDs. One of the drives crashed.

Those HHDs are not available anymore. What am I to do now? I use my NAS as a backup for files I don't need to be in the cloud.
What will happen if I replace it with a 4TB drive? I can understand if the NAS will only be that of the smaller drive, but will it work? I have a RAID 1/stripe configuration where the two drives are mirrored?

I am on a budget for this and only want my NAS alive again.

Thanks very much.
