January 7, 20242 yr Earlier today, I replaced my 4TB WD Red parity drive for an 18TB Exos X20. I would have expect that the parity check would go faster than before, but it seems that it is going slower. I am currently getting between 50-80 Mbps whereas before I would get 100+ Mbps. I read in another post that Disk Speed docker needed to be provided but I am not sure if I ran it correctly. I am also attaching diagnostics while the parity is running. dataeater-diagnostics-20240106-2228.zip Edited January 7, 20242 yr by goldcoin93 Fixing format

January 7, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution At any point in time the parity check speed will be determined primarily by the slowest drive currently involved. The first 4TB would be no faster. Once you get past the size of the data drives I would expect it to speed up dramatically

It is now going at 250 Mbps. Thanks!
