I just upgraded a 750GB in my Array with a new 1.5 GB...  I want to re-purpose that drive as a large Cache Drive.

 

Do I need to do anything to wipe out the data/stuff on the drive before I upgrade my 500GB cache drive?

Pre-clear the drive and the it will be empty. You can run pre-clear with the -z option and it will finish in seconds.

Thanks, I'll give that a try 2nite.

Or you can assign the disk as cache and manually delete the contents before the mover runs.

I actually just did a full preclear (although likely un-necessary)... will install this evening.
