  1. My hard drives keep failing and I'm worried of losing everything. I have dual parity, so I only lose everything if a third disk fails, but it's still worrying. Basically, here's what happened: 1. Disk 5 failed 2. I replaced Disk 5 with a pre-cleared hard drive, following all the manual instructions 3. A week later, disk 6 failed. I thought this was an unlucky coincidence 4. I replaced disk 6 exactly as I did previously. The array rebuilt successfully 5. A few days later disk 6 failed again. I knew that my new pre-cleared hard drive wasn't the issue here, so I unassigned disk 6 and then reassigned it to the array (again following the manual instructions) 6. At this point, as the array was rebuilding disk 6, disk 8 failed. 7. Now the parity is all rebuilt, but disk 8 is obviously still failed. tower-diagnostics-20221128-1809.zip FYI: All of the hard drives being used in this NAS (parity and disks) are Seagate EXOS 16TB disks. What should I do? I will check the power supply to the NAS chassis and the ethernet cable, as that's what some other forums point to. I will keep things posted here, but if you have any other ideas please let me know. Attached are the diagnostics. Thanks
  2. Yes I meant 250 gigbytes The data consisted of protools sessions
  3. Sorry what I meant is: 1. I copied 250gb to the cache pool. This wrote at 70MB/s 2. Once this was done I used the 'Mover' to move the data from the cache pool to the array. 3. As this was moving, the CPU spiked from 5% to 100% 4. The NAS was not being used in any other way at this time

  5. Update: As a test I tried moving some data directly into the cache pool (not using a third party backup software), which was super quick (≈70MB/s), but then as mover settings kicked in the CPU went mad, kept jumping from 5% to 100%...

  7. My NAS server is extremely slow at writing data... slower than it should be. We're currently writing data to it at about .05-4MB/s. Here's the sitch: - We've got the Storinator 45 drives - Everything is looking "healthy" on the unraid interface - I don't have turbowrite set up, but even without this feature, the NAS is being way too slow - I'm not using the cache pool either, but again this write speed is abnormal - Using third party apps to write to the NAS (chronosync and carbon copy cloner - both up to date) - Slow on all computers connected to the NAS - Have checked the connections to the Network and have ruled this out as an issue - I have 4x 16TB EXOS drives from Seagate used for storage + 2x 16TB EXOS drives used as parity drives
  8. Hmm I'm not actually sure... My colleague who is no longer here set this up. Do you know how I can check? Thanks
