gcleaves Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Honk if you've ever waited eagerly by the front door for chasis and hard drive delivery, dying to get started with unRAID, only to HAVE TO WAIT IMPATIENTLY 24 HOURS for preclear! Can I get a witness? Oh the horror, the horror! Quote Link to comment
sureguy Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I preclear drives 3x, what is this 24 hours you speak of? Quote Link to comment
gcleaves Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I've got 3TB Western Digitals. I'm only doing 1 cycle and after 17hours preclear is only 10% though the "Post-Read" step. I think I've read in the forum that 24 hours is pretty standard for larger drives. How big are your drives? Quote Link to comment
jphipps Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I usually skip the pre-read, and it takes me about 27 hours for a 4TB drive.. Quote Link to comment
neilt0 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I had 3 4TB drives arrive over 3 days and I "hotswapped" them in as they arrived, preclearing them all at once! That was fun. Quote Link to comment

I think I've read in the forum that 24 hours is pretty standard for larger drives. How big are your drives? I was referring to the fact that since I do 3 cycles of preclear, it takes me far longer than 24 hours Quote Link to comment
jphipps Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Wow, that is some hard core testing... Quote Link to comment
Chris Pollard Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Could always live on the edge and not bother pre-clearing Quote Link to comment
sureguy Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I've had a few used drives fail on cycles 2 or 3, and one new drive fail on cycle 3 Quote Link to comment
