Oh I see. Well this is the largest size disk at 8TB and my parity rebuilds run about 128MB/s at the moment. A standard rebuild is certainly easier to run, too.
I could rebuild, sure. But if I have an identical drive and can take the array offline, a clone would be much faster wouldn’t it? Assuming it could be done.
I have a working drive in my array that has some physical damage. It works for now but I want to swap while I have a chance.
I have a spare identical model drive. Can I remove the damaged one and clone it to my spare and just swap it in?
Would the array not understand the new serial number and assume the old one is missing?
