Storage • Change number of disks in raid 5 from 5 to 4?

$

Recently, I upgraded my F5 421 to TOS 6. Everything seems to be working well… but…

The hard drives never spin down. The lights are always cycling through the hard drives from 1 - 5… over and over. I have contacted Terramaster and I have been told they are ‘syncing’ or doing a write. How many days will this do this? I can’t even put this to sleep or schedule any kind of a schedule.

I am doing nothing on the NAS and don’t really have a lot on it - I use it for storage of personal things - like photos and a Plex library.

I have 5 x 2TB hard drives in a TRAID. I wonder if I could ‘shrink’ this to FOUR and create a hot spare? Maybe if I do this, the Raid will repair or sync… and I will have peace of mind that I won’t lose anything.

Thanks. I look forward to the feedback and help.
