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?
