I'm currently adding 2 new 14TB drives and removing 2 x 8 TB Ones. I'm using the GUI Remove Drive function but it does this sequentially (eg 1 drive removal at a time) and given the volume of data this will take well over a day. One feature I liked with DriveBender is that you could do multiple parallel drive removals! DriveBender did this by Drive Swap function where you could specify a Target Drive instead of using the Balancer and you could do as many of these in parallel as you had disks.
I know I could do this "behind" DrivePools back but would prefer to do it through the GUI.
