October 7, 201213 yr Hi, Is there any way to setup unRAID to email you when the parity check is complete? I had previously precleared the drives and thought it would email be at 25%, 50%,75%and 100% intervals but that never happened.
October 7, 201213 yr unRAID has no built in email. There is no event that is invoked at various percentages of completion to trigger emailing, but that would be nice.
October 7, 201213 yr Your drives appear to be running quite hot 48c is too high for me. Check your cooling. Mine all run mid-30's during parity calc/check. Nothing special done either
October 8, 201213 yr Author Your drives appear to be running quite hot 48c is too high for me. Check your cooling. Yeah, it's been a bit hot in Brisbane lately and my HP N40L just has stock standard fans. I'm going to have to invest something into cooling I think.

I'm going to have to invest something into cooling I think. The manufacturer operating temp for that particular drive is 5c to 60c. The OCCD with having drives run cool as possible runs rampart on this forum. I'm in my 40's and probably have owned over 200+ hard drives and temperature has had nothing to do with how long the drive lasted. As long as they run within manufacturer specs you are ok. You will for sure hear that running cooler is better, but proving that is impossible. If anything the very fast change in temp is probably bad. I can probably pull some SMART reports up on some running drives I have and they have years of time on them and always ran whatever temps they were at, as long as they are within spec.

Mostly correct. It is within the range of operating temperatures for the drive HOWEVER, unRAID, unlike many other OS, will spin down drives when they are not in use. The drives then cool down, often quite a bit, and disk mechanics/platters change shape/shrink. When cold and subsequently spin up they may have a lot harder time reading a disk written at higher temperatures. It might result in more un-readable sectors than otherwise. It all depends on how well the manufacturer compensates for wide temperature use. I would say that reasonably consistent temperature within the middle of the manufacturer's recommended range is best.
