[Upgrade/side grading my drives]

Just wanted to say thank you guys for the help. Been on vacation and had a little break from everything once I got all the drives transferred and replaced. Everything you guys suggested worked. Much thanks. 

 

Great forum so far 😁

[Upgrade/side grading my drives]

As title says I am replacing all 12 of my 2tb drives with 7 8tb drives. 2 will go to parity, and 5 will he for the rest of the storage. My question is, when I eventually get all 7 drives in, will all my data be essentially moved to those new drives since they are larger? If not is there a way for me to make that happen? All 12 drives have had over 2 million errors each and 2 have physically died. My current parity drive is almost done re-syncing data, then once the first one is done will do start the 2nd parity drive. My plan of attack was once those 2 are done, replace the dead drives first. Obviously one at a time to rebuild the data. 

 

End goal is have all 12 2tb drives out of system replaced mmthe new 7 8tb drives. All data intact on new drives. 

 

Thank you
