Hi all

 

So I've recently decided to revamp an old HP Microserver NL36 and use is as a second Unraid server. I decided to treat myself to 2 10tb WD Reds however prior to this my biggest drive was a 6tb red. Anyway I've literally installed the disks and kicked off a parity sync however its been running for 4 hours and I still have an estimated 2 days and 7 hours left. I know these are big drives so I can understand it will be slower, but thought I would ask the community is this seems normal? At the moment its running at 45.6 MB/sec but it fluctuates.

 

Thanks in advance.

Oops. Here you go.

Write cache for both disks is disabled, you can turn it on with:

hdparm -W1 /dev/sdX

Might go back to disable after a reboot.

Also make sure write cache is also enable in the Microserver bios.
