November 28, 201312 yr Hi All, Originally I've had 3x 2tb wd greens in my unraid box.. Speeds for parity check were around 70+ MB/s I just changed over to 1x 2tb wd green + 2x Toshiba DT01ACA 3tb drives by Changing the parity drive Then changing out one of the wd data drives (after the parity rebuild etc) with data rebuild etc. I noticed straight away that the speeds seemed a lot slower than before. parity rebuild was now low teens - 70MB/S - mostly around 30 ish. copying data off gigabit is giving strange results too. copying via disk shares (disk1 and disk2) I find the wd green a bit quicker than the Toshiba Using the hdparm -tT the wd green is a little bit quicker than the 2 Toshibas. I would have thought the new drives having the faster rpm 7200 v 5440 for the greens would be faster? My box is a HP N40L which is only sata II - could it be the tosh drives would prefer Sata III ? Any ideas? Thanks!
