I think I would run Balance first, Defrag 2nd ans lastly Scrub which usually takes the longest to complete.
The data can be accessed during these, but as you suspect reponse times may be affected

Thanks. I would have blindly done it in the opposite sequence so thanks for the recommendation.
Quick update......balance and defrag took some time (couple hours each) but were as expected. No increase in free space when they completed but I know each was needed. The scrub took 2 days to complete but when it was done, I reclaimed nearly 1.75TB of free space on my 4TBx2 system. Now my used/free space data looks correct.
Thanks for the assist.
Glad it helped
