Hitcher Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 So I need to replace a failed 2TD HDD but wondered whether it was worth increasing it to a 3-4TB one instead. I know it wont use the extra space yet but I was just thinking of the future when I replace the others to larger ones as well. Thought please? Quote Link to comment
sdamaged Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Depends what size your parity drive is? If it's 2TB, then this new 4TB will have to be used for parity Quote Link to comment

If it's 2TB, then this new 4TB will have to be used for parity If your parity is large enough, then by all means go larger for the replacement. The $/GB on 2TB isn't that great these days.
