Obviously until the format completes the 8TB drive will not be used for storing any data. Quote Link to comment
Matt k Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 But it looks like the pre-clear process is going to take 11 hours which seems really long. As long as I don't mess everything up I will run mover and start up all the Dockers. THANKS again to everyone that helped me out! Quote Link to comment

THANKS again to everyone that helped me out! the pre-clear involves writing zeroes to every sector on that drive, so that length time is not unusual. Quote Link to comment
