mine doesn't freeze up either.

Reboot your server and they will reappear Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 This worked for me. it also buggers them up when upgrading the plugin.

+1 Yes please. I need 5.0 to throw some 3TB drives in... I really need the space.... v5 works just fine as is. rename it final if its that important to you

Could it be your computer loading up Java?

try this. settings>display preferences>"View of spun-down disks". play with this and click apply see if it changes anything.

kingwin KF-4001 is 120mm design but only 4 drives.

thanks Joe. What about the syslog errors during clearing?

cycle #2 completed with no changes to sectors or pending sectors. raw read error rate changed from 24 to 108. i put the drive in a different hot swap bay to eliminate cable/port/dock as the cause and started cycle #3.

after cycle #1 no sectors pending or re-allocated but raw read err rate went from 0 to 24. cycle 2 not complete.

Cycle #2: attached cycle2.txt

this is normal. pre-read just reads to Null, post-read reads and compares.

dont forget to check used classifieds both on this forum and others like ebay, kijiji, craigslist. I picked up a CM Stacker 810 for $60 not to long ago. 11 bays top to bottom

if the option is there then its certainly possible to do

so pass #2 failed after the zeroing of the drive. got this email this morning. Preclear Disk /dev/sdh FAILED!!!!. no idea why it failed though. will find out when i get home. guess i have TWO WD20EARS drives to RMA...

of note (i believe anyways) is that the first drive #1187 took a little over 50hrs each pass while drive #2247 took just over 30hrs. same cables, ports, etc.
