August 21, 201015 yr On my beta 3 test box, I've run out of HDD bays. Since an overheating array earlier in the year (parity check) I have been adding external boxes to my main unraid array to keep in box temps down. I decided to follow suit on the test box (will be backup unraid once 5.0 ships). Didnt have a multilane adaptor to test the new external box, so fitted a PM temporarily and hooked it up via the onboard SIL3132, seems to work much better than the last time I tried a PM (less noise in the syslog). Also done 200GB parity check at 90MB/s which isnt bad at all.

Also done 200GB parity check at 90MB/s. That's a pretty good speed, fastest I've seen on a PM was 60MB/s.
August 21, 201015 yr Author Its only got a single drive on the PM currently (Samsung 2TB F3), hooked into the sil3132. The other "test drive" is a 320GB WD blue. Just a test to see how the external box works. Picked up an old SCSI rackmount 5.25" case with dual redundant PSU (EMACS) from flea bay, super cheap, super ugly, super heavy. Ripped out all the SCSI cabling and converted it to SATA array with 8 removable bays. Total size: 2 TB Current position: 624.71 GB (31.2%) Estimated speed: 96.27 MB/sec Estimated finish: 238.1 minutes Sync errors: 0
