My 24TB RAID 5 had an error on the hard drive 2 days ago. Bad sector test won’t even finish 😓
I think it’s time for a replacement

Raid 5 replacement is wicked easy!
It’s doing a rebuild on the faulty drive right now. Might be an overall win with the new drive being twice the size of the old one 🤙 praying for the best
I don’t think the RAID can be bigger than the smallest drive x number of drives
For sure, it’s an 8-bay 4TB/bay; I’m replacing of the faulty one with an 8TB. and once finished rebuilding, I should be able to the expand capacity
I’m saying I don’t think you can. I think you can only use 4TB of the new drive. If I’m wrong though, lmk, so I can look into that raid software!
