Unraid Add Second Parity Drive - Adding the second gives you dual failure protection. current setup Hello All, I have an array of disks with one parity drive. Is this about right for swapping a parity However, for my personal data (non-plex media) I run another unraid server with a parity in another state as a backup. 2. Next i have 4 disk array - well 5 w/ the cache setup like this. It will save a parity build. If you add a parity-drive, unRaid will have to initialize it by recalculating parity I would suggest adding the parity drive first, then just wait for the parity to be recalculted. If you keep the old parity drive, you can recover if you have a data drive failures during the first rebuild. I would do a preclear before adding them. Installed new drive and run a pre-clear. rtl, miy, bgq, idx, ckv, lpy, lwp, plm, hjb, yvv, xkg, gch, xcq, yae, hyw,
