I have 8 drives which I purchased from Amazon 3 years ago. I have had SMART messages constantly for 2 days now stating imminent drive failure on 3 of the drives. When I tried to get the drives replaced under warranty, the manufacturer said my drives were fake, serials invalid. Lesson learned, don't buy from 3rd party on Amazon, heck, don't buy some things from Amazon period.
So now, I am worried since I have 8 drives that could fail and I don't trust them, so I want to replace all drives. I am running 8 x 4TB, at about 50% capacity. I have bought new 8 x 8TB. What is the easiest way for me to swap out all of the drives? Do I just do remove/add and wait for replication one by one? Is there a faster way to do this?
