    Great wiki.

     

    Found one answer:

     

    Do 'green' drives work with unRAID?

     

    Yes they do, and work well, usually creating savings in power costs. Note that although they can be used for both parity and data drives, for best write performance, select a faster drive for the parity drive.

    A good thread about Western Digital 'Green' drives: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1540.0

     

    So i replace the parity drive for a 7200RPM Hitachi. The array is now syncing!

    Fast reply, thanks BRiT.

     

    I just realized with my Windows Home Server (WHS is history) i'll get transfer rates about 70-80 MB/sec. Hardware issue?

     

     

     

    No, it's not the drives at fault. I have 3 2TB 5400 RPM Green Drives in my array and I get over 30 MB/s transfers on my Gigabit network.

    Hi,

     

    I did some experimenting with unRAID, and i must say i'm very positive about this product. I have a question my transfer speeds when coping from my client to my unRAID tower is about 10MB/sec. I find this slow. I read in the forum that transfer speeds are normally higher about 30 - 40 MB/sec. I have a Cat6a network (10Gbps), but the router is Gigabit speed. I have two 1 TB Green power western  digitals (5400rpm), is this the reason transfer speed are slow? I also have a Hitachi 1TB drive (7200rpm), is this the best disc to make this the parity disc?
