Dashboard has Warnings on Physical Drive and Disk Array.

Physical Drive: "One or more physical drives are critical or rebuilding"

Disk Array: "OK, PFA"

When I click on Physical Drive from the dashboard: I have all green checkmarks under status but drive ID 1 has PFA under the checkmark.

When I click on Disk Array from the dashboard:

ID: 0

Status: OK, PFA

Capacity: 8 TB

Free Capacity: 0 Byte

Media Patrol: Enabled

When I do a Get Info from my Mac on the RAID it says Capacity 6TB and Available 2.6TB.

No idea what all this means or what I should do. I think the drive is rebuilding because I can hear it churning. Do I need to buy a new drive? If so, what specific drive should I buy? How do I get the new drive in without losing TBs of data?

I followed your instructions, but when I hit "Save Service Report" nothing happens. Is it being saved somewhere on my Mac? Not in the downloads or documents folder.

Just saw there was an update to the Utility. I am installing it and trying again.

I updated to the latest utility and tried to "Save Service Report". This time, I get a spinning progress wheel, then the utility crashes. I am going to try restarting my Mac since part of the install was an extension that require security overrides that need a restart to run. 

Just restarted and tried to get the report but the utility quits instead of generating a report.
