RickInHouston Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I Had a 3TB drive in my array. I replaced it with a 6TB drive. After adding a few movies on it I realized the drive was bad (movie files wouldn't play or would act finicky). I replaced the drive and did a rebuilt. I'm realizing the bad files were now merely copied to the new drive as bad files. I do have a separate backup of these movies. So, do I... Simply select all the files in the drive and delete them. Then copy my backup drives data to the empty drive? Seems like this really clutters things. Is there a better way of wiping this drive clean and starting over? Thank you for any help you can provide, Rick Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 You can format it by clicking on it on the main page and changing the filesystem to a different one, then change back to original and format again. Quote Link to comment
RickInHouston Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Will I need to let the'change format' run each time? I can't remember if that is a long process, it not... Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It's quick, a few seconds. Quote Link to comment
