Disabled Disk - What to do next?

[perfect]

Hello!

 

I am running Unraid v6.8.3.  I recently experienced a disabled disk in my array.  The contents of the disk appear to be intact (I can still navigate into the disk and access the files).  I have several other available disks that I can transfer the data onto.  I plan to remove this disk since it's apparently having [reallocated] sector errors. 

 

I read several threads on the topic and most link to a deleted page: https://wiki.unraid.net/Troubleshooting#Re-enable_the_drive

 

I'm happy to post any logs - but wanted to check here first so that I don't lose any data or screw up my array.

Thanks for the prompt response!  I actually still have a lot of available storage left on my array and am avoiding buying a new HD (at current prices).  I'm only at 50% storage usage on my 30TB array - and this particular drive is only using 1.5TB total. 

 

Is there a way that I can safely transfer the 1.5TB data from this disabled drive onto another drive and simply unmount disk3?  I will then remove it from the array permanently and let the data live on the rest of the array.

 

Is there a procedure for this?

Might be better to get that disk out of the array first then try to copy it as an Unassigned Device.
