The process installs a new, larger disk as the new parity disk, then installs your previous parity disk to the data slot. This ensures your array remains protected and allows for larger data drives in the future. Use a parity swap when your replacement data drive is larger than your current parity disk. This isn't necessary if your new data drive is the same size or smaller than your parity disk.
