Drive failed in one of my raid arrays. It uses 1TB drives, don't really want to buy a 1TB drive when price per TB makes no sense and I can buy a bigger drive. Debating on if I just take this opportunity to retire that array and make a larger one with less drives. 4 3TB drives would literally end up being 1TB bigger while using 5 less drives.

I could also just swap with a larger drive and keep doing that over time then grow the array bigger. Pretty sure that's doable.

I made a mistake and subscribed to r/knives and r/flashlights on Reddit. I don't think they talk about these things. Just show off their compulsive buying. It's really sad.
