December 17, 201114 yr Hi, one of my data drives is showing signs of wear so I'm planning on replacing it with a new drive. I did some searching and found some steps on how to replace the drive, but none of them mention preclear. Where would the preclear script come into play? Would I first preclear on a separate channel first, and then replace the existing drive with it? Just want to make sure as I don't want to screw up. Thanks!

December 17, 201114 yr Author And if I understand correctly, after selecting the new drive as the drive to replace the old drive with, I simply click START and the array will automatically regenerate the files into the new empty drive? Thanks.

Thanks. Yes. That is all you need to do. DO NOT do anything to set a new disk config, as that would prevent the reconstruction. Joe L.
