alexwick 0 Posted April 10 Hey, I have a setup with like a four 3 TB Drives mirrored. and a few 2 TB disks I was wondering since one of them failed and i have a total of 12 disks.... (Yes, my rig is too full) Can I replace 2x3 TB disks with one 6TB disk for now... and then at some point change another set of 2x3 TB disk when i have some more $$$ Thanks Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Umfriend 100 Posted April 10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 alexwick 0 Posted April 11 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Umfriend 100 Posted April 11 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 alexwick 0 Posted April 11 Yeah I am looking at a 8 TB actually. instead of a 6 even... It's like 25$ more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
