Readynas Pro 6 X-RAID 2 Dual Redundancy Proactive Drive Swap
Hi all, I have a Pro 6 running 4.2.27 with 4x1TB Hitachi drives (approved on HCL) and am planning to proactively replace 2 of them so from a mechanical / wear perspective the drives in the volume...
Hello steveoelliott,
I see. It should still be one at a time, same procedure with expansion. Replace one, let it resync and once done, replace the next disk and so on and so forth.
This might help: How do I replace a disk in my ReadyNAS Ultra, Ultra Plus, NVX or Pro series storage system?

Hello steveoelliott,
We always strongly recommend to have full backup of important data.
Volume expansion may take a day for each disk, depending on how large the volume is. You may visit How do I vertically expand an X-RAID 2 volume on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system? article.

Hi,
I will be using identical drives for replacement so there should not be any expansion... Just a re-sync.
I presume this should be faster...
Thanks...

All - Just so I have an idea of the time involved, how long ball park would an X-RAID 2 rebuild take on a pro 6 after I swap one of the disks? I will do this one at a time.
I have 4x1TB in an X-RAID2 dual redundancy and am looking to proactively swap two of them so mechanically the disks are different from a wear perspective. I have exactly the same models since I kept some back when the installation was initially completed.
