goldcoin93 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) 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 by goldcoin93 Fixing format Quote Link to comment

Solution itimpi Posted January 7 Solution Share Posted January 7 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 Quote Link to comment

It is now going at 250 Mbps. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
