Not required

 

the RAID configuration will rebuild once the replacement drive has been installed

 

make sure to only remove the defective unit

 

If you want to save the configuration as safety precaution you can do it. However, is not mandatory

Seems that the Raid rebuild process was not done

 

Did you contacted support about this?
