Started my weekend off right. Popped into my room to carry on with my first real runthrough of Fallout 2, and noticed the dual USB caddy attached to the Mac Pro was making some very new and exciting in all the wrong way kinds of noises. Bring up Storage Space, and find "Warning: Consider replacing" on one of the two disks in the caddy. Whoop whoop, a 12TB failure on top of 3 other hardware failures in the last 2 days.
Alright, assuming I can find another Exos X14 12TB disk within a few days, what's the proper procedure to replace/repair the disk? They are in a mirrored configuration (and I was in the middle of moving a ton of data off of a bunch of other disks to it...) so the volume is still available, but I surely will not be using it until I get it healthy again.
(i know, i know, use real RAID .. but I got a nearly free dual slot USB caddy, and it's smart enough to be able to be used with Storage Space without drastically degrading it's performance like a normal software mirror would... so when I found a deal on 12TB disks a year or two ago I jumped on it)
edit: If i get a couple of larger drives, can i swap one in to complete the array, then swap the other in to extend it's space? it seems like this particular drive isn't readily available anymore
