I purchased two of the drives referenced in my post above, one as a spare.

Thanks to Hector's patient advice I worked out how to exchange an HDD and summoned up the courage to swap over the replacement.

Power off on the front panel.

Power off on the rear panel.

Old HDD out.

New HDD in (the connector pin layout at the right rear viewed from behind differed from the old drive but it went in sweetly).

Power on rear panel.

Power on front panel.

Boots up.

Now have lights 4 and 5 flashing BUT they are in synch and not alternating.

Just checked debug and no drives are showing. Control:Web shows no albums frown

Any thoughts as to whether everything is OK?
