The safest way to change data disk


Recommended Posts

After a pending sector appeared on one of my drives i decided to go safe and to buy another one and to exchange it with the "bad" drive. As I am not 100% sure in my Parity disk (last parity build showed 105 errors in reading from the "bad" drive) what is the best way to backup the "bad" drive:

1. To remove the "bad" drive and assign the new one and let the Parity to rebuild its data;

or

2. To assign the new disk as a new data drive and using MC under telnet to move the content from the "bad" to the new one?

 

Thanks
