I'll make this fast! I have:

  • OWC 8-bay DAS
  • RAID 5 via SoftRAID
  • 8x 16TB drives in there now, about 70% full. Let's call this array "Alpha"

Questions:

  • Can shut it down, I pull those drives, put in 8 fresh ones and build a new array ("Bravo")? (pretty sure this is a yes)
  • I presume swapping the array back to Alpha and starting up will just act like nothing happened?
  • What are the things to watch out for?
    • Drives must go in the same drive slot?
    • What might cause the array to not be recognized after removing and replacing?

Thanks so much!
