I have 2 old drives, and I'm trying to decide if I should use them, or pension them.

Let's say I have this setup:

  • Parity: 8TB
  • Parity 2: 4TB
  • Disk 1: 4TB
  • Disk 2: 4TB
  • Disk 3: 4TB
  • Disk 4: 4TB

 

Parity 2 and Disk 4 is old, so what would happen if A) Parity 2 fails, B) Disk 4 fails.

In situation A, I would want to just remove Parity 2 (then replace Disk 4 with a new 8TB disk). Is it possible to just remove Parity 2 after it have failed?

 

In situation B, I would want to:

  1. Remove Parity 2, like in situation A. (As long as I don't loose any more disks, I should not loose any data).
  2. Replace Disk 4 with a new 8TB disk.

 

Would it be possible to solve those two failure scenarios in the way described?
