Bringing disks offline

Hi,

 

Brief description of my setup.

 

1x 5bay USB3 connected enclosure

1x External USB3 HDD

 

Now the issue I'm facing is, whenever I have to swap disks on the 5bay, the enclosure actually disconnects and then re-connects once the drive is removed (or added). This cause DP to think that disks in the 5bay enclosure have gone missing and starts to 'measuring...'.

 

Is there a way to add disks (or remove) disks from the 5bay enclosure nicely without triggering this behaviour? The sole External USB3 is a 8TB disk and it takes a long time to 'Measure'. The entire pool is used as a backing store for my backup clients. I can afford to take the pool offline but I don't really want to reboot. It's a Windows 10 machine and running the latest beta version.
