If i have a failing data drive containing no data, is it safe to replace parity?

Featured Replies

Hi

 

I want to upgrade to a larger parity drive then replace the current bad data drive with the old parity drive? will it be ok leaving the bad drive in during parity rebuild? Is there a better way of doing this? 

 

Thanks

If there's no data on that drive, you could upgrade parity first and then replace it, you can also use the parity swap procedure to replace it with old parity.

Thanks for the advice!

 

I dont currently have any spare sata ports. Is there a way of doing the parity swap whilst the empty data drive is removed and the new parity drive in its place, im guessing not?

There is, you just need to disable that disk first.
