StevenD Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 10 minutes ago, bonienl said: There is a known "bug" when doing a data disk rebuild and the disk is smaller than the parity disk, it will calculate average speed based on the size of parity disk, which makes the result higher than the actual speed. E.g. when your parity disk is 4TB and you rebuild a data disk of 2TB, the calculated speed is double the actual speed. I believe that explains it. IIRC, I was doing a drive upgrade/rebuild. I replaced a 4TB with an 8TB drive. Quote Link to comment
juan11perez Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) good day. I see the parity check averaging 130MB/s provided the server is doing nothing else. ie. docker/vm down. If these are up, the speed drops to 10MB/s. Is this the normal scenario? thank you Edited February 2, 2019 by juan11perez Quote Link to comment

Im seeing about 90MB/s for a 4tb parity drive with a 7 disk array. i know hardware has alot to do with it so here is a quick rundown of my setup..

juan11perez Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 it was a typo. apologies I meant 10MB/s on load. Quote Link to comment

Most people configure things so their dockers and VMs are on cache or unassigned device and not on any array drive. They shouldn't affect parity if you are doing it that way. Do you know which disk your system and appdata shares are on? Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete diagnostics zip file to your next post. Quote Link to comment
juan11perez Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Thank you very much for your help. I went and did a bit of research, which turned out to be exactly what you recommended. Basically docker/vm shares wrongly configured (not in cache). I've corrected it and not only is parity executing at avg 120MB/s but the server performance is now what I expected.

nasforthemass Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Since I was reading this thread, I thought I might add my own numbers for other peoples curiosities: Last checked on Tue 12 Feb 2019 06:56:05 PM PST (yesterday), finding 0 errors. Duration: 16 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds. Average speed: 131.3 MB/sec I currently have 6x 8TB drives in the array: 1 parity, 5 data storage (40TB) VMs and Dockers on Cache, but I leave everything running, including 2 VMs using around 88% of RAM, one being a very data transfer intensive VM to the disk array.

GeorgeJetson20 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 As I am awaiting the parity check to finish I was reading these messages in the forum. You guys are getting great speeds. My set up is 62TB Server (couldn't resist the price of the 14tb this week) - I used to use 10tb parity, 10tb drive and 3x6TB drives (the parity build for the 10tb took about 1 day). For the one below it's on day 2 of 3 (only getting 55mb/sec) But i am using an old I7-950 with 24gb (from 2011) so this might be my issue. I need to upgrade the equipment soon. 14 TB - Parity 14 TB - Drive 1 14 TB - Drive 2 14 TB - Drive 3 10 TB - Drive 4 10 TB - Drive 5 1 TB - Cache Quote Link to comment

GeorgeJetson20 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) I have 1 6 Port SATA 6 Card, is that the bottle neck? My MB is an old ASUS Sabertooth x58 and only has 6 SATA ports (2 are SATA-6 but the rest are SATA-3) - I have the 2 10 TB's on those 2 ports. The card I am using is from Amazon: Rivo PCIe SATA Card, 6 Port - It was only 65.00 card. But I tried another one before this and it wouldn't even see all my drives. I want to get a AMD 5700 with a nice size case (Currently using Cooler Master HAF912 Plus) remember this PC is from 2011 The main issue was getting the bigger drives which i got this week thanks to BB sale. (259.00) each (shucked) Update: Once it passed the 10 TB size, the speed shot up from 55 to 110mb/sec - I don't quite understand why but now there is only 6 hours to go instead of 12+ hours.

dopeytree Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I'm getting between 245MB/s - 190MB/s with 2x 12tb seagate ironwolf pro drives Edited September 3, 2022 by dopeytree Quote Link to comment
