thaddeussmith Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Trying to determine if I've got a bad drive or not... I spun up a spare mobo to preclear 4 new drives using a free copy of unraid 6, the unassigned devices plugin, and the preclear disks plugin. no need to start the array, i just don't have free sata ports on my production hardware. I know there's a 3 device limit with that license, but does it apply only to the array or any sort of functions? I've got 3 devices trucking along at ~140MB/s in the pre-read, but the 4th is barely moving, if at all. trying to determine if it's bad hardware or just the free license limitation, without prematurely ending the other 3 pre-clears.

trurl Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The limitation is for attached devices, but if it is working at all I think that must not be your problem. I think I remember something about you could attach more devices after it's started. Link to comment
thaddeussmith Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 correct - I can't start the array.. and yet I can start a pre-clear, but sdc just isn't performing the same as the other (identical) drives.. Link to comment
trurl Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Probably a problem with that disk or its connection. Link to comment
thaddeussmith Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 okie doke. I'll wait for the other 3 to finish and then troubleshoot from there. thanks! Link to comment
