If the hard disk drive is faulty, ReadyView recommends replacing the NVR via the RMA process. ReadyView does not provide any support for swapping the hard disk drive in a ReadyView enclosure and warranty is for the original equipment that shipped with the device. The only hard drives tested for use in the NVR are the Western Digital purple lineup.
IMPORTANT: Replacing with any other hard disk drive is not supported and is done at your own risk.
