Before the lecture start about storage spaces, I know. I'm literally in the process of acquiring components for an unraid build.
I have a windows storage space with the following disk
- Seagate Ironwolf 12TB (2 months old) - FAILED
- 2x WD Red 1TB drives (yes months old)
- Seagate 2TB desktop drive (yes months old)
- WD 1TB pulled from an external enclosure
I have no resiliency set on the pool (not the kind of data that needs it). So, in THEORY there is no striping of data, it's essentially JBOD with a single drive letter.
How can I remove the bad drive from the storage pool and just lose all it's data while retaining what's on the other drives. It's tried to remove it from the pool in PowerShell but it wants to reallocate the data (which there isn't enough room for).
Also does anyone have any experience / advice dealing with Amazon over RMAs for faulty hard drives?
