July 13, 20223 yr Hi All, Just have a quick question regarding dual parity... I currently have single 12TB parity drive if I wanted to added 2nd parity does it have to be 12tb or can I add a 14tb drive? The largest disk in my array is 12tb. So both parity drives will be equal or larger just not sure if they have to the same size? Edited July 13, 20223 yr by bally12345
July 13, 20223 yr Community Expert Solution Parity drives have to be same or larger size than the largest data drive, so yes it can be 14TB.

July 13, 20223 yr Author Excellent, there's a deal on 14TB drive which means it cheaper than 12tb! So will get the 14TB and add it as second parity
