May 17, 201412 yr Hi, as my write speeds are often only ~10-12MB/s (and jumping up to 16-20ish), I wondered if exchanging my parity drive (SG ST2000DL003 with 5900rpm) to one of my ST32000641AS (with 7200rpm) would give better/more stable write speeds. In case of a yes: What would be the best way of doing so? Taking out the ST3200, put in a spare HDD and let parity recover that drive and then taking out the ST2000 exchanging it with the ST3200? (Letting parity be build) Or is there some less hassle and time consuming (it takes like ~24h+ to recover a drive via parity) way?
May 17, 201412 yr The parity check reads all of the drives at the same speed, so it all comes down to the slowest drive in your array. Are all of your drives connected to motherboard sata or do you have some connected to a controller card? If so, how is that connected to your motherboard?
