October 3, 2025Oct 3 I have two parity drives (2TB) and one of my data disk (2TB) has failed. I would like to replace the two parity drives with new larger drives and then use one of 2TB parity drives to replace the failed data drive.How can I do a parity swap of the two parity drives and then replace the failed data drive? I see the procedure to swap one parity drive, do I just follow that for each of the parity drive or can I do them both at the same time?

October 4, 2025Oct 4 Author @JorgeB I only plan to replace the one failed data drive. So I will just proceed with the parity swap for just one parity drive and once the failed drive is replaced, I will just replace the second parity with a larger drive. Thank you for the advice.
