The second disk you replace, it will use 3 TB, the size of the disk it replaced. ... The 12th disk you replace, it will use 3 TB, the size of the disk it replaced. However, now that all of the disks in the raidz vdev have been replaced, the overall size of the vdev will increase to use the full 4 TB of each disk. This either happens automatically (autoexpand property is on), or manually by export/import the pool.
