RobJ Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm not completely sure I understand your situation, but if you mean a data drive in an UnRAID array with parity protection, then just unassign the old drive and assign the new drive in its slot and start the array. Let it rebuild the old drive onto the new drive, and it will be an exact copy of the old drive. Why would you not want to replace? Quote Link to comment
