Hello there!

I have a 5 disc rate 5 array with one disk slowly dying due to reallocated sector account growing steadily. Replacement Drive has already arrived but I fear both the long rebuild time (22tb disks, so probably 3-4 weeks) if I simply swap out that effective drive and the possibility of additional disk failures during rebuild.

Is it at all possible or advisable to offline clone the failing drive onto the new one with for example acronis? Or will the controller (LSI 9361-8i) simply reject the cloned drive?

Any experiences already made here would be highly appreciated!!
