October 23, 20241 yr I bought 2x 24TB drives to replace the 2x 10 TB parity drives in my array. I don't have physical space in the server to pre-clear the incoming 24TB parity drives. How do I replace these 10TB parity drives with the 24TB drives, then use those 10TB drives to replace some 6TB drives in the array?

Do I have to prep/erase/pre-clear it beforehand or just stop array, pop out a 6TB drive and pop in this 10TB drive and start array?
