cyrnel Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 It could just be impatience - the new case finally arrived today - but has anyone noticed preclears seem to take longer with more drives? Currently preclearing 5 2TB drives attached directly to my new E350 board. 3 Hitachi 7200, one 5400 and a WD EARS. MB/s numbers look about normal but the post-read is crawling. My previous experience is with dual-core Athlons, and 3 drives was the most I precleared at the same time. As I recall the 25hr guestimate was pretty close. Maybe this stage is more cpu-intensive for this little E350, or I have one or more angry drives? Link to comment
dgaschk Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 More drives does slow the process down. They all share the same system bus. Link to comment
cyrnel Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Ah, of course. The numbers looked right but I hadn't bothered adding. Link to comment
