Synology hardware is pretty close to what you're describing. Light on front goes from green to orange and you get an email, you plug in another drive, click a button in the GUI, and wait for the volume to reshard/resilver/remirror.

A freenas box does this as well, but won't have the pretty drive light indicator if it's a home-built box, but then you're not limited to proprietary hardware.

I had been meaning to look into Synology more and I watched a few reviews after this exchange. Sound good except I'm not happy about having to link to their servers. But everything works that way these days :/

Why would you have to? Their devices work fine without any sort of account with them.
