March 15, 20242 yr I have 2 18TB drives that are almost full. Im ordering 3 more 18TB hdds this week. Whats the best practice for balancing the new HDD's with the 2 old ones so that the data is even across the board? Edited March 15, 20242 yr by fanatical-endgame1970

As a general thing, the best practice is to not mess with it, just leave the full drives full, and let all new writes go to the new drives. The first bit of the drive is the fastest, the last bit the slowest. Just make sure your split levels and minimum free space is set correctly. If you really want to move a specific share from one drive to another, the best way would be the Dynamix File Manager plugin.
