April 5, 20242 yr Hello, first sorry for this question. New to unraid and do not what to mess it up. I have 3 4TB array, I recently put a 2TB HD, but i want to use it somewhere else. well the idea is to change the 2TB (i have not use it, just install it and did the parity check), and replace it with a 1TB HD. For what i have read and seen (youtube), is. Turn off the array remove the drive on array. turn off unraid. Exchange the drive power up unraid. set the new drive to the array (format) and start the parity check. Am i missing something? Thank you. All
