January 28, 20251 yr My current config has dual Parity a 10TB drive in Parity 1 and a 20TB in Parity 2, I would like to move to a single parity with the 20TB. Is just removing the 10TB drive from Parity 1 slot or is there more involved?

January 29, 20251 yr Author I could then use Parity 1 slot as a data drive? My goal is to replace 6 aging drives with three 20tb drives in my array. I've got 8 ports for SATA drives and currently all 8 are in use, going to 1 parity frees up a slot and will allow me to migrate data off the old drives.
