February 16, 20251 yr Hi everyone, I got new drives, cables, PSU after I managed to fry the drives on my previous build. This setup is newly build, drives almost empty. Have 3 newly bought, refurbished Seagate exos x16 14tb drives, from a very reputable ebay seller, and 1 14tb WD shucked white drive. I noticed parity and windows 11 VM is very slow. Parity check runs at under 10mb/s and gives ETA of 14 days. I can already tell by the graph below something is not right. (I'm more cautious now, so don't want to try things my way. I want to ask the community for guidance) Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20250215-2327.zip
