Hi,
Until recently, I used a 4TB HDD as parity in my array alongside a 3TB HDD (sdc) and a 4TB HDD (sdd). A few days ago, the parity hard disk broke and I would now like to replace it with an SSD. Not for performance reasons (I know my QLC SSD could even be slower), but in the long term I would like to switch completely to SSDs due to the lower noise level.
If I use the SSD (sdb) as parity I can't start the array because it's not supposed to be the biggest disk. However, according to the Unraid GUI, the size is identical. I have already erased the SSD completely with "Erase", but that didn't help either. Have I overlooked something?
If the SSD is really smaller, is there a way to get the data from the 4TB HDD onto the SSD so that I can use the HDD as parity?
Best Regards
Luk
