Recently my company Buffalo Tera-station disk 4 was failure,so that,i plug out the failure HDD and replace with new HDD then press button to rebuild the disk.After i press the button to rebuild ,i can see in the console all the user can not access to this buffalo,but too late because i never inform user,some job they doing already lost.I have few question in below to avoid this make mistake again

1.All the server like HP Proliant DL 380 during rebuilt the disk will effect user or just buffalo tera-station only can be happen like what i described above.

If your NAS has the support for RAID 6 you should use it. RAID 6 can protect against 2 drive failing at the same time. The problem with RAID 5 is the stress are rebuilding the raid array can make another drive to fail.

So is mean during terastation process  of changing harddisk users  can not access  to the drive ?
Yes that's what it means,  these cheap-ish NAS drives don't have the juice to rebuild and allow access
