messiah165 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 So one of my disks failed and it is currently being emulated. I bought 2 new drives both 6tb each. One for the failed slot and one for the parity so I can move up to 6tb drives. My problem I need help with is how do I go about this. I tried to put the new 6tb in place of the parity to let it build, but it said to many disks are different. Obviously I cant put the 6tb in the missing slot yet because it will be bigger than the parity. Please some insight. I dont want to have to purchase another 4tb drive just to fix this issue if at all possible. Quote Link to comment

Solution itimpi Posted May 29, 2022 Solution Share Posted May 29, 2022 It sounds like you need to use the Parity Swap procedure. Quote Link to comment

Is the "failed" disk still installed in your server? 21 minutes ago, trurl said: Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread Quote Link to comment
messiah165 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 It started making a nice loud grinding noise, then screaming, then dead ☠️☠️ It's for sure a failed drive bought it used. Quote Link to comment

Do any of your other disks have SMART warnings on the Dashboard page? Quote Link to comment
messiah165 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Downloading the diagnostics now. Will take some time, but I'll upload them soon as they are done. I'm in the middle of nowhere on my iPad. No other smart warnings on the dashboard. But ALL of the drives were bought used on eBay. I'm going to replace them one by one. with new hence the two new 6tb drives. Quote Link to comment
