July 4, 201610 yr What are the steps required to replace a failing 3TB drive with a 4TB drive. Kevin. Stop Array, powerdown. Remove the 3tb. Replace with 4tb. Power on. Disk will show as missing. set as unassigned. Start Array. Stop Array. Set disk to be the 4tb. Start The array. Rebuild will commence
July 4, 201610 yr What are the steps required to replace a failing 3TB drive with a 4TB drive. Kevin. Yes as Mullvaden83 says remember if your parity drive is less than 4 tb you will not be able to put a 4 tb drive in the array without first upgrading the parity to 4tb. The parity must always be more or equal to the largest size drive in the array. If your parity drive is only 3tb you could swap it with the 4tb drive. Then rebuild your parity. You could then replace the failing 3tb drive with the old parity drive.
July 4, 201610 yr Just make sure the parity disk is bigger or same as 4tb. From the sig 8x WD 4TB Red. 5x WD 3TB Green. M1015 IT. Perc 310 IT
