So I backed up my 10 bay NAS, and added larger drives/ Well one of the new drives failed in the middle of the NAS synchronizing. So I replaced it. But it comes up as a spare. Is this normal because I had a drive die during the initial Synchronization?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

What software you using?
You should be able to "remove" in the interface the dead drive and add back in the new one as a replacement

Not familiar with them, no option to "rebuild" with the new spare, or to "initialize" the new drive?
Not with it. The spare button is greyed out, and instinct tells me that maybe when the synch is done, I will get that option. But didn't want to waste another two days if I had toi start over to fix it.
