Hi I am trying to shrink an array by removing a 1TB Samsung hard-drive, I have done following in order 1) Remove all data from that drive 2) Remove that disk from all shares 3) Stop array Once arrays stops, on trying to remove that drive or replace with a bigger drive, it errors out saying "Wrong" or says Missing no device "SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJ1CQ726821 - 1 TB" I am unable to write the new config from the tools menu because of the error. The array works just fine with that disk being part of it(no disk errors). Please help.

Thank you guys. I will buy a 1TB NVME and use as cache drive. Sam

Just looking for a opinion, I have my three windows VM, Ubuntu and few dockers on 1 TB NVME drive on my unraid machine. I dont have a cache drive yet, but there are lots of deals out there for NVME drives. Question is will I benefit from having a cache drive(another TB NVME)?
