Interesting results from shuffling the drives around. 1. So I removed drives from the 1 - 4 slots, left #5 in place. 2. I put drives from slots 1 & 2 into slots 3 & 4 and vice versa. I did not replace them in any particular order. 3. Initially a few of them showed drive errors, made it sound like bad drives. I popped them out and reinserted, they worked just fine. Zero errors since. 4. The certify did start up where they left off, but for some reason one drive did not, it started over from offset 0. 5. Now it appears they're all on par speed wise. 63-64 hrs remaining, 81 hours on the one that started over from scratch. This is about 18 hours in since I restarted the certify process. So I don't know what to think about the performance difference between slots, as there doesn't appear to be any difference at the moment.]]> Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize davidahn https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2945 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2944 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 18:33:41 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2944 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2943 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 16:48:41 +0000 Try swapping the drives to the other slots. Cancel the rebuild. Swap drives 1-2 and 3-4 Certify (SoftRAID will offer to pick up) See what happens. When you say “pick up”, you mean where it left off, so I don’t have to start all over?]]> Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize davidahn https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2943 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2941 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 15:07:17 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2941 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2940 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 04:57:38 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize davidahn https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2940 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2221 Sun, 30 Jul 2017 16:18:36 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2221 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2219 Sun, 30 Jul 2017 01:27:53 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize davidahn https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2219 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2180 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 07:48:33 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-2180 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-365 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 17:02:43 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize DesertNomad https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/equal-speeds-during-certify/#post-365
