and lastly, I assumed that the reason why it showed as critical was due to the primary drive reporting 75% I am now seeing this is a separate issue!

None,you need to do it in the RAID BIOS,Microservers have had basic raid for ages given their "budget" status
Look,to be fair,your Reds are "2nd" best for the "quality" of WD. I think you might just be suffering from loadshedding related death
Personally i'd go for Seagate 's Red "Ironwolf" 2TBx2 and an external 2TB for backups perhaps

Really don't think loadshedding has anything to do with the drives failing, as the server is located on the same grid of a major Psychiatric Hospital in Cape Town, and may even get the electricity supply from them directly and is therefore exempt from loadshedding. There was until recently a UPS connected too, so even if the power was cut, the server would stay powered. During Loadshedding times, and while the cell phone towers in the area go down, the property stays on.
I've had a look in the BIOS, and don't any option to adopt new drives, perhaps as I haven't got any yet!
If anyone knows how to adopt new drivers in the BIOS of these HP Microservers, please let me know.
I want to get the ball rolling in the next week or so.
Thank you all kindly

You should be able to just simply set the new drive to be assigned to the raid in the hardware raid configuration menu. Once it is assigned, it will automatically rebuild the array.
Otherwise try this,

That is how AMD raid worked on my MSI system.You should be able to just simply set the new drive to be assigned to the raid in the hardware raid configuration menu. Once it is assigned, it will automatically rebuild the array.

Found someone who uses AMD RAID expert like my original post that also confirm this
