December 13, 20232 yr Hi all, Im fairly new to unraid and have built a new system from a repurposed Dell 720XD current Specs are CPU 2 x Xeon E5-2660 RAM - 64gb DDR 3 multi-bit ECC Perc H710p flashed to IT mode using fohdeesha guide and software. Config is Cache - 2 x CT1000P3SSD8 (1TB) in btrfs pool Array - 20 x CT2000BX500SSD1 (2TB) total 40TB\ Parity 1 x CT2000BX500SSD1 (2TB) im seeing ridiculously slow parity sync of under 1mb/s with expected 30 days to complete! any help would be greatly appreciated Also tried running DiskSpeed, and it hangs on waiting on the first drive.

December 13, 20232 yr Author Thanks for the Reply, I did notice that the mover kicked in. But i Still dont think that is the whole issue? I cancelled mover and have reset the stats for read and write, nothing is currently writing to anything other than parity. The speed jumps from 70 MB/sec down to 12 MB/sec. Im not sure where to start to diagnose this issue. I also have another system that I built today, a dell R720. the specs on this one are CPU E5-2643 @ 3.3GHz x 2 RAM 64 GB DDR3 multi-bit ECC Perc H310 mini in IT mode Running 2 x CT1000P3SSD8 (1TB) as ZFS with another 1 x CT1000P3SSD8 as Parity nvme 1TB cache ZFS Im confused if its a config error i have done, or if its the HBAs, or these 2TB SSDs, I know they arent great, but would expect more out of them then this?

I would suspect more the SSDs, these cheap SSDs cannot sustain high write speeds after the small SLC pseudo cache is exhausted, still would expect more than 10MB/s, can also be a controller/expander bottleneck, run the controller tests in the diskspeed docker, so you can can rule that out.
December 13, 20232 yr Author Thanks again for the help. I can't seem to run diskspeed. When I try run default settings and remove the tick on ssds, I'm able to run, however it just hangs on waiting on the first drive. I have managed to get rsync to pull files onto the array at 1 GB/sec. Movie files etc. So I think it's capable. Just something screwy I'm missing.
