One of my older 8tb drives died over the weekend. Not bad for almost 8 years of use.

The rest of my array is all 14tb drives (including parity) 2 - 10tb and 1 (was 2) 8tb drives.

Not sure if I should buy a couple of 16 or 20tb drives to upgrade the parity drives and then use the 14’s in the array or just buy a couple 14tb drives for direct replacement.

I’m only at 64% usage of 106tb but always felt if I needed to install a new drive. I might as well upgrade at the same time.

nvm.... ordered 6 - 18tb drives from SPD.
