Reply To: WD Red NAS Drives Query Hi all, So I have a spare WD Red 4TB HD – WD40EFRX and I understand these have been replaced with WD Red Pro 4TB – WD40EFZX. My question is,…

[kev2021]

Just looking at the drives… it seems I have the below:-

Volume 1 RAID 5 consists of:-

WD40EFRX

Volume 2 RAID 5 consists of:

WD40EFZX and 1 WD40EFRX

 

So now I’m wondering… do I buy a WD40EFZX drive, pull out the WD40EFRX from Volume 2, put the new drive in place of that making Volume 2 all WD40EFzx drives and then once that volume has rebuilt, remove the drive reporting a issue and replace with the WD40EFRX making volume 1 all the same models too?

 

bit more work and probably best part of a week to do as it will take probably 2 days or so to do the rebuild…
