Are Terra Server HDDs replaceable after warranty expires?

I know the Compact Terra HDD is not field replaceable. For the regular Terra, a few questions for after the warranty expires. Thanks.
  • Can you pay to replace a failed HDD
  • If not, will the system still work with 1 or more dead HDDs, just with less usable space?
  • Essentially, does the Terra become a brick once the warranty expires and a single HDD fails?
 
The Terras don't use K/RAID, so they should remain workable as long as any of the drives are still operational.
 
  • Yes
  • The system will still work with a failed HDD. You'll be missing the content from that drive, although if there is enough space on the server, the missing content will immediately start downloading to the remaining drives (or to other storage in the system, if you have more than one storage component).
  • No
