Yes, the drives are hot-swappable. You can replace failed drives or upgrade to larger drives without powering off the unit. Ensure the new drives are compatible (3.5" or 2.5" SATA).
What RAID types are supported?

Does the RX1217RP support redundant power?
Yes, the 'RP' in the model name indicates redundant power supply units (2 x 250W). This provides failover in case one PSU fails.
