How long does an initial read-check usually take? I'm trying the trial on an 11TB setup with no parity and after formatting, I did a read-check to see if any errors were present and its telling me its going to take 5 days to finish. Is this normal?

 

I'm using it with a 1TB, 2TB, and 8TB drive (1 internal, 2 external). Just incase that matters.

The time is determined primarily by the largest disk in the array, although the mix of drives does slow thing down.   I would have expected a time of around 1 day with the mix you have so 5 days is definitely excessive.    It might be worth posting your system diagnostics zip file (obtained via Tools->Diagnostics) to see if anyone can spot anything.

2 external

Assuming these are USB, most likely your problem, external drives are not recommended for array devices, for performance reasons and more importantly they're much more likely to cause problems due to poor error handling.
