0 Umfriend 106 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Sure. You could also replace just one 3TB drive with a 6TB drive. Or with a 14TB drive. What kind of issue would you expect? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 alexwick 0 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 well I have always just bought pairs off drives... I am carfeull with how drivepool works and if it have any quirks... I have used this for years now, but have not really paid to much attention to it in the last 2-3 years, so i just dont remember if there is anything i have to be carefull about. I just have to many disk that are getting older... Need to reduce disks and replace the one that seems damaged Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Umfriend 106 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 In that case, I would consider buying single HDD and as large as you can afford. I assume you have duplication. Not sure how you would backup that much data.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 alexwick 0 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yeah I am looking at a 8 TB actually. instead of a 6 even... It's like 25$ more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
