Duo (v1) with WD20EARS + WD20EARX
I have recently swapped out 2 x 500GB drives and replaced with 2 x 2TB drives as per subject line.
I have the opportunity to replace the EARS drive with a EARX drive so that they would be a matched pair. Both drives are second-hand and the EARS has a Load Cycle count >118000.
I used to get upload speeds of around 18MB/s with the 500GB config, now I only see 9MB/s. Is this a symptom of the drive mis-match or something else? I read of setting WDIDLE for these drives - how do I do this?

- If you download your logs (Status > Logs > Download all logs) and extract the zip contents what does partition.log look like?
- Thanks for the reply. This is what I get:

Disk identifier: 0x00000000 - Backup your data, update to 4.1.7 or later and do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything). It should resolve your performance issue.
