@envoy510 they are both TB3. I will try to find out, but perhaps this relates to using a Monitor on one of the ports. I have never treated the port...
Certify takes about 1 day per 2TB of capacity, so 7 days seems correct. Are the drives getting hot? Temperature can be a concern on drives. Why not ...
