Feedback regarding 104 device
I've just purchased a 104, to be honest the reason being that at least in the UK the street price is now so low that it undercuts all other 4 drive devices. On install it correctly upgraded to the ...
As a follow up.
When the process of switching from a 2 disk (2x1.5TB) RAID 1 to a 3 disk (3x1.5TB) RAID 5 configuration started it reported that it would take about 12 hours. This then completed in the estimated 12 hours, but then seemed to restart the rebuild process. I'm currently 8 hours into a process that the GUI reports has another 60 hours to go!
70 hours to do a RAID rebuild is far to long, but there is no easy way to tell if another process is trying to run on the 104 at the same time and so impact the disk performance by causing disk thrashing.
As and when this is all done I get to add another disk and so will report on that in what looks like 3 days time.
