Removing an Hard Drive from RAID5 using UFS

[johnwand]

In my lastest attempt to make all data safe in my digital world I create a RAID5 using 1 volume across 4 hard drives set to UFS on FreeNAS 8.3. How can I remove a siginal drive and keep my data integrity?

Copy your data off to an external drive/device before destroying your raid.

Does this mean that I can not seprate out one of the drives?

Correct.
