Hi, I searched around but I couldn't find a clear detailed procedure on how to do a massive swap, I have 30 drives on my UnRaid, I need to swap 7 of them with 7 newer larger disks, I need to know how to do a pre-clean of the disks on another PC (software to use and what to check) and how do I swap all of them togheter after the pre-clean is successful, I tried in the past to swap 2 disk, but I did it 1 at the time following the standard procedure, but it takes 2 days to do a parity check, and doing a parity check for each new drive will destroy all the others.
So if anyone can please explain in details the steps, software, procedure to do a massive swap like this let me know.
P.S. The 7 drive to swap out are 7x SAS 4kn 12TB, I need to swap them with 7x SATA 18TB, all the other drives in the array are SATA not 4kn, so I don't know if this should be taken into consideration or change the procedure.
I have 2 parity of 18TB HDD.
Thanks.
