Good morning everyone!
I am in the process of acquiring 4 new drives (6TB) for my 3U server. I currently only have 2 empty slots, so I will be replacing 2 of the current drives. I currently have a mix of different sized drives in there and really don't have any idea which are which. I am guessing my only option is to shut the server down and pull them out one by one and remove the 2 smallest drives to be replaced by the 6tb? I know one of the new drives will become my backup, so I should be adding 18TB minus whatever the capacity of the 2 drives being removed. Sound right?
Any other considerations before the new drives arrive?
Thanks!
