Replacing SSD in Array with a new drive

[Abnorm]

Hello all, 

 

just to be sure I don't screw up my array and would like to keep my 40TB's of zeroes and ones..

 

Since I first started using unraid, by mistake I added a SSD to the array and I'm in the process of doing some much needed spring cleaning of my box. 

I've got some new drives and I want to remove my SSD from the array and use it as a cache drive instead (as it pretty much is intended to do). 

All my docker images etc have been running on this SSD (and some VMs which are now beeing moved to the array) so I'm copying these files to my shares now and configuring docker with correct root paths and so on. 

 

Will the correct approach be that I just stop my array, replace disk4 (currently ssd in array) with my new drive with no further issues? and thereafter setting my ssd up as a cache drive? 

 

edit; I have got a parity drive, fyi

If you have a drive to replace the SSD you just need to do a standard replacement, if you want to remove the SSD from the array without replacing see the shrink array options on the wiki.

Ok, I'll just stop it and replace with the new drive then. thanks!
