jafi Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Hi, My current array include 2x4TB HDD. Array is 90% full. 4TB drives are out of stock here for several weeks. If I order 6TB drive, what is the best way to add it to the array? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Do you have a parity drive? If so what size? Quote Link to comment

I have 2x4TB drives, other is parity. I can't get new 4TB, but I can get new 6TB. Can I change it to new parity drive and use 2x4TB as disk 1/2. After upgrade I have array size of 8TB?

itimpi Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 If you want to upgrade the parity to 6T`b and simultaneously use the old parity to replace one of the data drives then you use the Parity Swap procedure Quote Link to comment
