February 9, 201313 yr Hi guys, quick question. I added a WD Red 2TB to my server without pre clearing it first and unraid (4.7) told me it needed to clean it (not preclear), thats fine so away it goes to do its thing, but it started on Tuesday evening and it is only at 29% so 3.5 days to do that, does that seem slow or do I have high expectations? Having checked the settings it looks like it is going with unaligend, does this sound correct? I am running said drive in a HP N40L Many thanks Alex
February 9, 201313 yr Author Decided to pre clear all my disks in the end, a bit of faffing about and reading later I have set the first disk off and running.
February 9, 201313 yr It should take <10hrs for unRAID to clear a 2T drive on decent hardware. Just change to using the 4k aligned setting for everything. That Red drive likely should be using 4k-aligned.
