wow this explains everything. but now i wanna know how do i move back all my data into the drives?

HI, recently i got my hands on a new LSI SAS9211-8i card flashed with IT mode. i decided to use it as a HBA card to make more room to able to install more drives. the first thing i decided to do was to use a faulty old 2TB WD Green HDD to test around and see how the caching works before investing in a 240gb SSD as a cache drive. after some tinkering around i got it to work and set my movies share to be cached. Now the issue here is that when i went into the scheduler to set up an hourly scheduler for the mover to flush data from the cached folder into the array what had started to happen was that the mover began to flush data from the array into the cache drive. the worst part is that the cache drive was decommissioned a year ago due to faulty smart data. it had about 2500 errors and now my data is being copied into it. a lot of it is mission critical data that can be recreated when lost.

i've already got a 6tb red drive as my data drive. because i have a 6tb drive i'm planning to get a 6tb parity drive.

i have already precleared the disk. yes i am planning on buying a 6tb parity drive. could you help me out with the instructions for rsync?

I've been running my unRAID server for about 6 months now with 2x2tb drives (1 green and 1 red) and a 6 tb green drive. I recently got notified that my green 2tb drive was failing and has multiple SMART errors and bad sectors. I, fortunately, found a 2TB purple drive lying around and decided to replace the green drive with the purple drive. I have no Parity setup on the server yet. Is there a way to remove all the info from the green drive named (sdb) to the new drive named (sdd) without having to set up a parity disk. the failing driver and the new drive both are 2TB each. the new 2TB purple driver has been precleared and awaiting mounting. detailed steps are much appreciated.
