August 6, 20241 yr Hi all, Had to replace a parity drive in an Unraid server I made from an old computer, and it's going REALLY slow. Like estimating 70 days for four data drives 5TB and under slow. And it seems like it's only writing a little at a time, with reads/writes for the drives at 0.0 B/s, then jumping up, and then stopping. Any insight? I've attached the diagnostics. alexbackup-diagnostics-20240805-2101.zip

August 6, 20241 yr Author That's what I thought could be the case. Unfortunately this is the offsite backup, so I won't be there for a hot minute. Will keep in mind. Stupid question, but it would just be the SATA cable that needs to be checked/replaced?
August 12, 20241 yr Author Solution Issue turned out to be that I plugged in the Parity drive into a SATA to PCIE card, which is what was slowing it down. I got someone on the other end to move that cable to plug in directly to the motherboard, and that solved the issue. Interestingly, no issues by the looks of it with the data drive on that PCIE card, but yeah. At least it seemed to be solved.
