Remove a drive from unraid (May 2021)


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I have most recent unRaid; one of my disks started to had errors, but since recently I removed also lot of older material, and due to use of streaming, I decided just to remove the drive rather than replace it with newer/bigger one..

 

Want to confirm the procedure, the one I found seems dangerous to me..

which one did you find?

 

There is this one in the documentation accessible via the Manual link at the bottom of the UnRaid GUI.

Yes, thanks, indeed I managed to do this.

The disk indeed got bad, I removed it and then tried to reformat it with NTFS, but got bad sectors.. Thumbs up to unRaid for handling this absolutely transparently

 

For curiosity, this is a WD Red Pro disk, that was designed specifically for NAS. I have plain HGST disks that still hold strong.
