July 24, 2025Jul 24 As I was taking out the SATA cable for one of my drives, the pins stripped out. Unfortunately, this turned out to be my parity drive. I don't have a replacement drive that I can just pop in. However, one of the current drives in my array is empty. So I want to take this empty drive and use that as the new parity drive. How do I do that?Would I first need to follow the Shrink Array guide? But my concern would be when I go set up a New Config: will that make any parity data unrecoverable?After that, I could just pop in this drive and assign as my "new" parity drive, correct?
