I'm hoping to replace a 7200 RPM 2TB drive with a slower WD Red 2TB drive in my WHS. Last night I added a new WD Red 2TB drive to the pool and then began the process of moving all the files off the 7200 RPM 2TB drive by removing it from the pool. For the first 90 minutes or so, everything seemed to be going according to plan and the 'migrating data' progress bar had moved to about the 40% percent point.
I began to wonder about the temperature of the drives due to the high rate of reading and writing and the factor that all four drive slots were populated in my Lenovo D400's packed drive bay. On the dashboard, I clicked on the Home Server SMART 2013 tab to check the temps. At that point, the migration of the drive removal aborted and I was informed about some kind of access denied error.
Further attempts at removing the drive have repeatedly failed, reporting the same access denied error.
Any idea what may have happened and how I can get out of that loop to resume removing the drive?
