Good day everyone, I need some help with my zpool I created a long time ago. I have 8 Drives in a Z1 raid, each are 3Tb Seagate 7200rpm SAS drives. A couple of weeks ago I had a drive start trowing some errors after going strong for almost 4 years so I quickly replaced it with a spare I had just ordered in. I wasn't totally sure what commands to run so I looked around on a few forums and on the zfs wiki as well and found it would be a simple few commands:
sudo zpool offline TheMass 9173635512214770897
sudo zpool labelclear /dev/sdc
sudo zpool replace TheMass 9173635512214770897 /dev/sdc
As Context here is my lsblk output:

I removed the old sdc drive, and replaced it with a new one and then ran those commands, The pool began to re-silver and I thought everything was alright until I noticed the new sdc drive didn't have all the other formatting on it like the other drives, and my performance isn't what it use to be. My pool is up and running given zpool status:
`pool: TheMass state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 03:47:04 with 0 errors on Fri Oct 6 20:24:26 2023 checkpoint: created Fri Oct 6 22:14:02 2023, consumes 1.41M config:

So my question is, did I do this correctly? if not, what and where did I go wrong so I can fix this? Also, if you could give me the commands that I would need, that would be amazing!
If theres any other commands you need me to run for information just let me know!
I appreciate all of the comments everyone! Thank you all!
I’ll probably end up going with a EATON or APC, most likely refurbished to save some money.
If anyone has any websites they want to share of wholesalers that sell old office stuff within Canada, that would be amazing!
