The issue was memory. likely the slot on my motherboard was bad. I ran a full memtest and after 6 passes there were errors on test 6 on every pass. so I tested individually, and had 0 failures. I removed one of my 32 GB sticks from my configuration and now its been running steady at about 84 Mbps for over 24 hours.

No, I haven't done one in about a year or so. I'll stop the sync and run it then, and see if it finds anything.

Hi all, I'm replacing an 18TB parity drive with a 28TB parity drive and the parity sync starts off strong showing about 4 days to rebuild, which was expected, but after about 8 hours it drops off to showing 4000ish days to complete. I've replaced sata cables, swapped ports, and I don't know where the issue is now. I've attached my diagnostics, can someone help me figure out what I need to do to speed this up so I'm not crawling along at a snails pace? after 2 days i'm less than 8% completed. tower-diagnostics-20260111-2039.zip

the only problem I forsee with that, is two of the disks are still not showing up. which means I have a drive that's needing rebuilt, and two that are missing. If I don't new config to drop those two drives, I can't start my array. I don't WANT to lose data, but I don't see any way of not losing at least those two. My concern is if I will lose the data on the 18 or not. I guess at this point, I should just grit my teeth and do it and see what happens. I'll post in here after I figure it out.

Hi, I had a power supply issue and my 18TB storage drive dropped from the array, and when I readded it, it started a rebuild. after a while the power supply started failing harder and forced a shutdown. After replacing it today, I have two more drives that are not showing up. I've replaced sata cables, swapped them with known good cables, ports and power connectors. I'm willing to accept losing those 2 drives that failed today and their data, but the one that was rebuilding has nearly 8TB of data and I don't want to lose all 3. If I do a new config so I can at least get my array started up again, will I lose all of the data on the drive that was rebuilding? I've attached diagnostics from earlier this month and from today. tower-diagnostics-20250227-2211.zip tower-diagnostics-20250210-2150.zip
