Swapping drives in a software raid 10 array
Should I use an NVME duplicator to make 1:1 clones of the drives or would it be possible for me to just replace each drive one-by-one, because theoretically the array would just rebuild itself entirely?

4 drives in the array btw
the point of a mirrored array is that'd rebuild itself if needs to
in fact, it's actually "better" to not duplicate, because unless the drive is 100% full, the copy would do more than needed too.
and generally when you go to replace, it'd assume the new drive is either empty or not valid, so it'd discard the state it is in
sounds good, thank you so much
