My imagination?

So if I've got this right, 

I stop the array,

Unassign the drive I want to remove,

Power down and replace the old drive with a new drive (straight out of the box.)

Power up and assign the new drive in place of the old,

Start the array and let it rebuild the new drive.

And the server is still useable while this is being done.

I think you may have to first start the array with the drive Unassigned to simulate a failure and get unRAID to forget the serial of the old drive, but otherwise the steps look correct.

No need, simply shutdown the system, replace the drive, start the system and assign the new drive, then start the array.
