November 14, 20187 yr Hello There is a good deal on the 8TB Easystore WD USB drive (drive inside is a Red WD) for ~ $150 Do i need to pre-clear it before installing it into my server to replace my current 2TB parity drive? I've read many different things about parity drive replacement............................and it's confusing !
