I was thinking about RAID arrays when you posted this. You can only get data on and off a drive at X speed. Replacing an 8Tb drive in a RAID array will trigger a RAID rebuild putting more stress on the remaining drives making them a little more likely to fail. Rebuilding 8Tb of data would take quote a bit of time. I would be nervous and have my backups ready in case it all went toes up.
