After a instant drive failure on a secondary server last week - I am now being proactive with my primary server and replacing old disk in biweekly stages.
This server has 4x4TB lineup and I have identified disk 3 as being the first one to be removed. The new disk arrived yesterday but - I do not have all folders in this pool duplicated. What are the correct steps to get this drive out of the pool, out of the box and then swap in it's replacement without jeopardizing any files that could be on drive 3 as single files?
Assuming the Remove function in the UI should empty the drive (?) but I want to be sure before I start making any moves.
And I assume Balancing would be my next step after the new drive is in place?

All,
After a instant drive failure on a secondary server last week - I am now being proactive with my primary server and replacing old disk in biweekly stages.

And I assume Balancing would be my next step after the new drive is in place?
Appreciate any tips from the field.
Cheers
Sonic.
