flaystus Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Are they safe with unraid? Mine died in my PC so I purchased a new one. And the RMA'ed on will be in early next week. Is it safe to use in unraid? I know you can't use them in traditional raids. Are any of those models "advanced format" drives? Quote Link to comment

aaronwt Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 How much of a speed improvement can you get with them? I'm using a 2TB Seagate 5900 rpm drive for my cache and parity drive and I get 90MB/s to 110MB/s transfer rates to the cache drive. Which is 10% faster than when I was using a 1.5TB WD green drive.

dgaschk Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The fastest transfer I've ever seen over GIG-E and TCP is 117MBP. And that was with no disk and no file system overhead. I don't think that you can do any better than what you have. Quote Link to comment
