OS 6.1.7 no scheduled scrubbing?
Having lost the volume in the past on my Pro Business due to a double failure (second drive failed during a rebuild), I scheduled a weekly RAID scrubbing job to avoid this in the future, and I've been...
I just corrected my posting above.
I was wrong when I claimed that my new ReadyNAS 516 with OS 6.1.8 takes more time for scrubbing than my ReadNAS Pro6 with
Radiator 4.2.6
Also, I want to mention that my new 516 with 5 x 4 TB disks is fantastically low in power consumption.
When the System is idle, it consumes about 40 Watt of power.
Under full load (e.g. during scrubbing and Streaming Videos at the same time), the power consumption is approx 55-60 Watt
For comparison, my Readynas Pro6 with 6 x 2 TB consumes approx. 80 Watt when it is idle
During scrubbing the consumption is 100-110 Watt which is almost 2 x of my new box (with almost 2 x disk space!)
Note: I have UPS for all my ReadyNAS boxes, so I can easily determine the power consumption through the
display of my UPS devices (APC Back-UPS BR1200GI).
I guess that the biggest portion of power is consumed by the disks, so there seems to be a big improvement between the two disk types:
old: Hitachi HUA722020ALA330 (2TB)
new: WDC WD4000F9YZ-09N20L0 (4TB)
both are 24 x 7 Enterprise Class Disks with 5 years warranty - and on the HCL of course
