VFRLuke Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Hello, I have recently started getting some smart errors on some of my old 2TB drives and I picked up a couple of 12TB drives to replace them. They are over 10 years old. Obviously I want to assign one new drive as the parity, Use the old parity 8TB drive and the other new 12TB drive to replace disks 3 and 4. I have the new drives in and precleared. I was thinking this order 1. Replace the parity drive and let it rebuild 2. Replace disk 3 with the other new drive 3. Preclear the old parity drive and replace disk 4 with it Would there be a better way of doing things? I wasn't sure if the parity swap procedure was appropriate since I have all drives currently installed. Thanks in advance for your help, Luke Disk 3 smart: Disk 4 smart: Edited November 18, 2021 by VFRLuke Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Since disk3 has pending sectors best to get it out first. I would do parity swap with disk3 then replace disk4. Quote Link to comment
