April 11, 20224 yr Hey everyone, I’m trying to determine my best path forward. Currently have 1x Parity and 5x Data Drives. All current drives are 10 TB. I’m upgrading from 6 drives total to 5 x 16 TB. The first thing I did was move data off one drive and then shrink the array. The 15th is the day my parity check runs so everything should be okay. I'm trying to determine which way forward to migrate to the new drives. Naturally, all drives will be precleared ahead of going online. Providing they all check out, should I simply do the parity rebuild first by pulling the old drive (and holding onto it), installa new disk and assign it as parity, and let it rebuild it? Once done, rinse and repeat for each data drive? Or is there a better way? Thanks.
