Your plan for replacing your 200gb drive sounds good to me. Since you are running jbod, I wouldn't worry about manually redistributing data from your other disk to the new one. Cassandra will do that for you as it performs compaction.
While you're doing the drive change, you need to complete the swap and restart of the node before the hinted handoff window expires on the other nodes. If you do not complete in time, you'll want to perform a repair on the node.
