asopala Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 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 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Constant ATA errors for parity, check/replace cables and try again. Quote Link to comment
asopala Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 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? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 You should check both SATA and power cables. 1 Quote Link to comment
Solution asopala Posted August 12 Author Solution Share Posted August 12 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. Quote Link to comment
