Garbonzo Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Hi. I haven't paid attention to the log when pre-clearing an SSD.... but the pre/post read speeds are about what I would expect (consumer sata SK Hynix Gold S31 1Tb drive) but the actually zero-ing??? Wtf? Basically 30min > 80min>40min.... and it was complaining about temps (who'd complain about 69 ) 24-03-2023 02:40Unraid device dev3 temperatureAlert [EZRA] - device dev3 overheated (69 C)SHGS31-1000GS-2_FS0BN96451080C415 (dev3)alert 24-03-2023 01:08Unraid device dev3 temperatureAlert [EZRA] - device dev3 overheated (68 C)SHGS31-1000GS-2_FS0BN96451080C415 (dev3)alert But really I suppose my question is can that all be temperature? It went from 32 to 68 in about 25 mins of pre-read... I am trying to determine if the drive needs to be RMA'd or anything... its 15mos into a 5yr warranty period...

TIA -g p.s. That 8MB/s I am wondering if that is an average for the last 25% or just a instant-read? Edited March 25, 2023 by Garbonzo highlighted a few things Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Sustained write speeds will be much lower due to quickly filing up the pseudo SLC cache, but those 8MB/s are an anomaly, just for the last few seconds, also note that you should really not preclear flash based devices, you can use blkdiscard if you want to wipe it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Thank you. And I am pretty sure I knew that about pre-clearing ssd drives, but this was one that wasn't mountable last week... and you helped me with the problem that turned out to be memory timing issues, so I was pretty sure the drive was fine, but wanted to use it as another pool for something else... just thought I would check with those that know more... thanks again for the assist. -g 1 Quote Link to comment
