squirrellydw Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) If I use data disk that is larger then my parity drive it would just be the size of the parity drive correct? My parity drive is 8TB and I just got a free data disk that is 10tb. I don't want to replace my parity drive since I plan on doing that later this year with a much larger one. Any issues doing this?

trurl Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 It will not let you assign a data disk that is larger than parity. Simple as that. You could do parity swap procedure 10 minutes ago, squirrellydw said: don't want to replace my parity drive since I plan on doing that later and then later replace parity again with a larger disk when you want.
