Sorry if this isn't enough or the right detail but this is my first post, and I'll try to make it clear with what issues I am having.
The print screens below show what happens. When one is available the other does not show. When the parity is online, I do have access to my files normal transfers too. But when the disk is working, I can't access anything and for some reason my registration becomes invalid.

When I Have the WD red parity and WD red drive plugged in it looks like this.
I stop the array and go to assign the WD red drive as Disk 1 and it looks like this:
However when I scroll down and hit start the array it ends up looking like this:
Also notice how it's unregistered now, when I go to try to check the reason for it It's seems to think that I'm in a trial mode.
I easily re-register for it and the side issue is solved for now:
when I go back to assign the parity disk like normal, I go back to where I started.
I have a spare new, WD blue 3TB, when I put it in this happens:
I know that the WD red parity drive seems to be good, should I switch Disk 1 for the moment with the WD blue while my RED drive is RMA?
Also I can't recall if I just hot swapped the drive when the array was off-line, could that have an affect on it? Does the whole server need to powered off completely?
