I have a DS918+ with three Seagate IronWolf Pro drives combined into a single SHR storage volume. Last Saturday we had a power outage. After recovering my NAS was extremely slow. Upon checking the Storage Manager, it reported that one of the three drives (all Seagate IronWolf Pro drives listed as supported drives by Synology) was in Critical state. I followed the advice mentioned on screen, immediately ordered another IronWolf Pro drive and on Monday followed the steps outlined here to start the drive replacement.
As of Tuesday, the NAS became unresponsive and it got very difficult to login to DSM at all. Only on Thursday I finally managed to login and saw Storage Manager reporting that replacement would take another 1053 (!) days. After that, I have not been able to get into DSM again and I have no clue how far the replacement process is or when is it about to finish.
A few questions:
Best regards,

A few questions:
- Is there another way in which I can check the progress of the replacement without having to login to DSM?
- Is there a way to abort the process without causing data loss or other drive issues?
- Is it normal that drive replacement is taking so long?
- Is there another way to recover files from the critical drive, so I can back them up and just do a clean reinstallation of my DiskStation?
