Is this HP the flash drive to get? I am about to start a new build. They are in stock and on sale locally. I might just buy 4. 😉

Thank you Frank1940 I will see about the warranty. I appreciate the help.

Hi unRAID fans! new disk that I had laying around. Is it ok for the server? preclear_finish_WD-WCC4E5ET0RAA_2018-07-07 preclear_rpt_WD-WCC4E5ET0RAA_2018-07-07 preclear_start_WD-WCC4E5ET0RAA_2018-07-07

Just upgraded my CPU to a Phenom II x 4 945 from a Sempron 145 for that Plex and 8 Gigs of Ram Installed new Arctic fans since the old ones started to whine after 7 years. A new CPU cooler too I had laying around. But the coolest is that fan controller I had laying around. Double sided tape on one side in the case. ? Server going strong!

Thanks

Just finished this Seagate IronWolf. Is it ready for my server? Thanks preclear_start_ZDH0RJ24_2017-03-16 preclear_rpt_ZDH0RJ24_2017-03-16 preclear_finish_ZDH0RJ24_2017-03-16

Thank you sir!

Cool its done....can someone tell me it its ok for me to add it to the array? Thank you. preclear_finish_PK2338P4H3WHAC_2015-12-03.txt preclear_rpt_PK2338P4H3WHAC_2015-12-03.txt preclear_start_PK2338P4H3WHAC_2015-12-03.txt

Alignment has no effect on drives > 2.2TB. Thank you for the fast response. So ok I will not do the 4k and it will start on sector 63. Should I change the default partition format from 4k to unaligned?

I am about to pre-clear my new 4TB HGST for my parity. All of my 2TB drives have been pre-cleared with 4k-aligned. Should I do 4k-aligned with my new 4TB drive? Thank you.

I could not get a HDD to preclear since it kept telling me that it was already part of the array... "sdb" but it was not a totally new drive anyways I don't get why I could not preclear it. It was not part of the array. Anyways I just added to the array with out the script but can you please tell me if this readings look ok? Thank you.

Here is a HD that got replaced by WD. Is this one good? Might keep this one as a warm spare will see.... preclear_start__WD-WCAZA3952697_2013-08-03.txt preclear_finish__WD-WCAZA3952697_2013-08-03.txt preclear_rpt__WD-WCAZA3952697_2013-08-03.txt

Perhaps I could help with that? I've started a page, very incomplete yet, but does have comments specific to the Raw Read Error Rate. A comment about the High Fly Writes attribute - ignore the VALUE and WORST for this attribute. I believe it has a dummy routine attached to it, because in all cases I have seen, it behaves like the following: ++RAW[189]; // it's a counter for high fly writes if (VALUE[189] > 1) --VALUE[189]; // decrement for each event (drops it from 100 down to 1), but no lower than 1 if (WORST[189] > VALUE[189]) WORST[189] = VALUE[189]; // the usual statement setting WORST to the lowest value of VALUE RAW appears to be the true counter of High Fly Write events. VALUE then becomes 100 - RAW until RAW exceeds 99, and then VALUE and WORST are stuck at 1, and never can reach THRESH of 0. That's why I believe it is an experimental attribute and this is a dummy routine, and should be ignored. However, the fact that there are High Fly Writes occurring may be of note, should probably be monitored, but we have no guidance anywhere as to their significance. Thank you RobJ

Joe why is it then my 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate is so high from all my other drives? something to worry about? thank you.

Where's the report showing the changes? The high-fly-writes went from 100 to 75 during the pre-clear. Although nowhere near the failure threshold, keep an eye on it in the next few months. Thanx Joe .... I will add it to the array now to replace another failing hd. What is a high-fly? should I be worried? I will keep an eye on it the next few months. Sorry here is the report forgot there where 3 files. preclear_rpt__W1H1P1ZV_2013-07-24.txt
