  1. Yes, it is the Corsair CX500. Like I said when I selected it, it was one of the recommended drives here for up to 15 drives. But maybe it has gone bad. I swapped the PSU out for a Seasonic X-650 and that seems to have fixed it: Data-Rebuild in progress. Total size: 4 TB Current position: 326.82 GB (8%) Estimated speed: 100.22 MB/sec Estimated finish: 611 minutes
  2. I thought the CX500 was good for 15+ drives. I only have 14 and they're low power drives. But thanks that will be one thing I will check since I have another PSU available that has a higher output.
  3. Thanks for your help. I'll have to check the connections again, but I'll have to do that later. I do have another power supply that I can try and I also have a motherboard, if I need to swap that out. I'll have to check and see if I have more SATA cables. BTW, when I went to shut down, I still had Windows File Explorer connected to the flash share and I was getting errors unmounting the drives. I had shutdown my desktop computer that was previously connected and restart that and then reconnect the browser to the Tower and then I noticed the Parity drive was missing. So I definitely have some kind of connection problem.
  4. OK, I cancelled the rebuild, stopped, shutdown and the connections looked fine, but I pulled the first 3 data connectors from the SS-500 5-in-3 enclosure and reconnected them. Now I'm only getting 200-300 KB/s, so I think I made it worse. syslog-2017-03-02-2.zip
  5. Well those attached files don't look very readable! And I didn't zip them.
  6. Yes, the new disk was precleared 3 times and it's been in storage for a while (about 3 years ago). I assume the disk won't go bad in storage. syslog.1 syslog.2
  7. I attached the one that I created when I first started the rebuild. Hope that helps. I haven't checked here in a while. The 6.x version that I downloaded and have actually used on a test server was still beta. I'll definitely be looking into upgrading. syslog-2017-02-28.txt
  8. A couple of days ago I noticed that one of my disks redballed. I figured it was likely bad because of errors that I'd seen and decided to replace it. The drive that I replaced was an Hitachi 2TB and I replaced it with a HGST 4TB Coolspin. And proceeded to rebuild the drive. I'm only seeing between 1 and 2 MB per second rebuild speed. At this rate, it will take about 25 - 30 days to rebuild the drive. That doesn't seem normal. Here is my system info: ASUS M4A785-M Motherboard AMD Sempron 145 CPU 1GB DDR2 RAM Corsair CX500 PSU UnRAID v5.0.6 Parity: Seagate ST4000DM000 4TB Cache: None Array: 10 2TB WD Green, 1 2TB Hitachi, 2 4TB HGST Coolspin (including the new one that's being rebuilt) The new drive being rebuilt is connected to the motherboard. I checked the data and power connections to the drives when I replaced the drive and they seemed OK. I'm seeing this repeatedly in the log: /usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/syslog Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2: EH complete Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2.00: exception Emask 0x50 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x90a00 action 0xe frozen Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2.00: irq_stat 0x01400000, PHY RDY changed Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2: SError: { Persist HostInt PHYRdyChg 10B8B } Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2.00: failed command: READ DMA EXT Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2.00: cmd 25/00:00:60:10:d8/00:04:1b:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: res 50/00:00:5f:10:d8/00:00:1b:00:00/e0 Emask 0x50 (ATA bus error) Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2.00: status: { DRDY } Mar 2 08:57:22 Tower kernel: ata2: hard resetting link Mar 2 08:57:29 Tower kernel: ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) Mar 2 08:57:29 Tower kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 Mar 2 08:57:29 Tower kernel: ata2: EH complete Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: ata2.00: exception Emask 0x50 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x90a00 action 0xe frozen Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: ata2.00: irq_stat 0x01400000, PHY RDY changed Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: ata2: SError: { Persist HostInt PHYRdyChg 10B8B } Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: ata2.00: failed command: READ DMA EXT Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: ata2.00: cmd 25/00:00:60:50:d8/00:04:1b:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: res 50/00:00:5f:50:d8/00:00:1b:00:00/e0 Emask 0x50 (ATA bus error) Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: ata2.00: status: { DRDY } Mar 2 08:57:30 Tower kernel: ata2: hard resetting link Perhaps an issue with the data connection?

  9. All Newegg shell shocker deals are good through the end of the day - 12 Midnight PT (3 AM ET the next day). Not true. There are typically several DIFFERENT Shell Shocker deals each day ... and each expires when the next one starts. For example, today's Shell Shocker special has 5 different deals -- the first (an AMD A8-6600K combo) good from midnight - 9:59AM; the 2nd (WD 3TB EZRX) good from 10AM-12:59PM; the 3rd (ViewSonic monitor) good from 1PM - 2:59PM; the 4th (Asus Notebook) good from 3PM - 5:59PM; and the last (Patriot Viper Memory) good from 6PM - 11:59PM. While what you said is true based on the info from Newegg, my experience has been that once a Shell Shocker deal starts, it's good through the rest of the day. For example, today's 1st Shell Shocker deal is a Polk Audio CS2 Series II Center Channel Speaker (Black) Single for $99.99 and was supposed to be good from 12 AM - 9:59 AM PT. Which means it is now over. Except it's not. If you go to the site for that item - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290212 - you'll still see it available for $99.99 and lists Shell Shocker in the item description. Same with the other "expired" deals.

  11. I started a preclear on my 2 Seagate 5TB external drives and ran into this same slow issue connecting to USB 2.0 connection. I didn't see any easy way to take these apart or test with a SATA connection which I was able to do with the Seagate 4TB Backup Plus external drives. This was going to take "forever" at 22.6 MB/s! Here is what I saw at 50% complete: Pre Read in progress on /dev/sda: 50% complete. ( 2,501,482,905,600 of 5,000,981,073,920 bytes read )at 22.6 MB/s Using Block size of 8,388,608 Bytes Next report at 75% Calculated Read Speed: 22 MB/s Elapsed Time of current cycle: 30:48:49 Total Elapsed time: 30:48:50 I read that unRAID 6.0 beta supported USB 3.0, but my MB does not. So I went to Micro Center and picked up an Inland 2 port USB 3.0 PCI Express card for $9.99 and updated my test system to 6.0beta12. That worked and now I'm getting over 150 MB/s while connected to USB: Pre Read in progress on /dev/sdb: 50% complete. ( 2,500,771,840,000 of 5,000,981,073,920 bytes read )at 155 MB/s Disk Temperature: 35C, Using Block size of 1,003,520 Bytes Next report at 75% Calculated Read Speed: 156 MB/s Elapsed Time of current cycle: 4:26:16 Total Elapsed time: 4:26:17 Wasn't sure that it would work with USB drivers needed for the Inland card but it did and really sped up the Preclear!
  12. BTW, the v1.2 has much brighter LED's than either of the v1.1s.
  13. I ordered 3 last week when they were on sale for $60. All 3 have green PCBs. 1 has 2012.08.08 Ver:1.2 on the inside of PCB and has white Molex connectors. 2 have 3-5 12Gb V1.1 and have black Molex connectors. On one of the V1.1s, the 2nd bay will not initialize (?) if it's connected to my MB SATA ports. It will work fine if it's connected to either of the controllers that I have. Depending on the MB SATA port connected to it, it's very slow to boot or I get a message on unRAID boot - "ata5: softreset failed (1st FIS failed)". I would have never noticed had I not put that one in first to connect to the MB SATA ports. I'm going to RMA this one to Newegg and hope I don't have any problems in the future with the other 2 or the replacement.
  14. It's cut off at the bottom, but this ad would indicate that it may be $25 off $139.99 - https://blackfriday.com/stores/costco/flyers/black-friday/page-2
  15. Newegg Shell Shocker deal starting 1 PM ET (10 AM PT). Ends today. Seagate NAS HDD ST4000VN000 4TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive $159.99 w/FS 3 year warranty. $40 per TB.
