I'm super excited to be, for the first time, resilvering a hard driver in a RAID. That Seagate bit the dust after 7 years of spinning, so I bought a 3TB HGST SAS pull off ebay and stuck it into my 36-bay Supermicro server case. I wasn't sweating, though. It's a RAIDZ3, so two more drives could die without trouble. Now I'm back up to 3 levels of redundancy, or will be in 15 hours when it's done resilvering. 13 3TB drives. Instructions say to split the RAID, but I think statistics are on my side this way. And with pulled HGST drives around $22 each shipped, I could build a whole new RAID for not much money. Plus it keeps the house a bit warmer.
