Can I remove my drive safely...? Changing from RAID to basic

Post Body
Hey everyone.
Long story short, I have a bigger and faster drive than the other in my 2-bay NAS. However I don't need RAID as it only serves as a local backup from my cloud.
So I changed my RAID to BASIC solution, by doing:
- Removed the bigger drive (8TB) from the RAID
- Restarted my NAS
- Added as a new volume with the disk
- Change all shared folders to the new disk
- Waited for copy to terminate
Now I am left with the old storage degraded, what should I do from there, just delete the storage? Is this safe?
Also, since doing the swap my iPerf tests went from 800Mbps to.. 30Mbps, could that be related, or should I investigate separately?
