Hello all,
I currently have a very modest and simple RAIDZ1 pool of 4 x WD RED 1TB HDDs (mechanical). When considering getting 4 x WD RED 1TB SSDs to upgrade to - a question popped into my head. What if the raw capacity of one of the SSDs is slightly smaller than the current HDD ? The resilvering would fail / get stuck at the very end yes ? So the raw size of the new drives needs to be either exactly the same or larger ?
I've looked around and can't really find the spec. for these drives that would tell me that. I could be searching the wrong thing or missing something though...
Can anyone point me in the right direction or otherwise set me straight on my thinking here ?
Thanks.
