No, not possible to rebuild and add drives at the same time, you can rebuild and and parity2 and when done add the remaining drives, or vice-versa.

 

Grab diags during current check.

 

I will grab diags when rebuilding the 2nd parity + 2tb to 8tb drive.  This check just finished.

 

Thanks!

There are additional reads on disk2, to see if speed is normal or not you'd need to stop all other array access.

Hey, I was looking at a similar case from istarusa, its the M-4160-ATX. I was wondering if you have any strong feelings one way or another about your case? I love the look of the 4160, and the 16 trayless bays, plus 2 2.5" bays sounds pretty much perfect for what I am doing. But I have heard very little about people using these cases.

I love my case, it was a bit more difficult to get going due to the expanders needed for so many bays and figuring out cable management that didn't piss off my OCD, but once I did, the case is strong, well built, commercial quality.  The only complaint I have, is one brand of 8tb drives will not fit the trays.   Every other drive I put in fits, but the one wont.  Can't recall off the top of my head but I'll look later.  The drive is made different, being wider at the bottom causing the tray to expand too much to slide into the chassis.   Other than that.  I love it.  Going to buy a second when I move at the end of the month.
