I have a pool that has 2 8TB drives. I am going to upgrade both drives to 16TB but I cannot add a new 16TB without first removing a 8TB. I wasn't doing any pool duplication so several days ago I kicked it off and it is 25% done. Takes forever. My plan was to wait until this is done, then remove one of the 8TB drives and replace with a 16TB, wait for it to re-write the pool to the 16TB, then remove the 2nd 8TB and add the 16TB. To me this is the only way given I cannot have all the drives connected at the same time. Does this make sense?
