Failing drive with no redundancy

[shanco]

Thanks! I guess Ill give it a shot...

I have 3 x 4tb red drives and 1 x3tb iron wolf. Will figuring Raidz2 is best. Will these drives work? or should I just get a 4th red so its even

I will just have to point my sickbeard, plex, and couchpotato to the new locations and rebuild the libraries?

Well, ideally you'd have all four disks in the RAIDZ2 the same capacity, otherwise its capacity will be determined by the smallest disk. It isn't important that they all be the same make/model, though it is good if they have similar performance. But there's no reason that the path for anything needs to change.

Thought as much, can I wipe and change out the 3tb at a later date?

Of course. The manual has instructions.
