![]() ![]() You’ll be able to read and write to the second disk, and replace the failed disk to maintain data security. This provides drive redundancy, ensuring that if one disk fails, your second disk is available. You’ll now have an Online RAID with one disk in it. RAID 1: This uses data mirroring, where all the data written to the array is written to two disks simultaneously. Basically just converting the normal disk back into a RAID disk. You can then enable a new RAID by dragging that source disk back into the RAID tab and clicking “enable”. At the first step, instead of deleting the RAID, you should “demote” the remaining good disk from the RAID, which would preserve its data and turn it into a regular disk (clicking the - button). I can confirm that this does work (I had to do it the other day to rescue my RAID), but should clarify terminology. Pay attention to the warnings that pop up for each step - they should tell you that the data on your source disk will be unharmed. Why don’t you delete the degraded RAID set (this should preserve the data on your source disk), create a new mirrored RAID set with ONLY the source disk in it (again, this should preserve the data on your source disk), and then add your third spare to this new “Online” RAID with 1 disk in it.
