Hi RupertGiles
Checking on your disks all your drives are fine. You may want to try disabling Quota on volume and see if there's any change in scrub time or performance.Regards
Hi RupertGiles
For RN300 series I do think 5 hours or less should be normal run time for scrubbing 4x1TB. Do you have any performance issues when running scrub?
Another thing is to check on the logs for any issues on your disks. You can download the logs and look at smart_history or volume log.
You may want to check this thread as well for other users discussing about the lenght of Scrub maintenance.

Hope this helps!

Hello Marc_V,
As far as I can tell from looking at the logs, there are no issues with the disks. The scrub did complete successfully, although it took nearly 12 hours.
Here's the log entry from the "Volumes" section:
data scrub 2018-07-01 14:26:33 2018-07-02 02:17:14 pass
The only performance issues I experienced during the scrub was that Time Machine wasn't able to run. This wasn't a major issue because I have other redundant backups: Arq, and Carbon Copy Cloner.
Hi RupertGiles
It would be best if you try and see if this will do the same on your next Scrub using the progress bar StephenB mentioned. You can send in the logs if you want so we can try to check.
Guide to sending logs is in my Sig.

Logs sent.
You might look at the SMART statistics for your drives, just to make sure they are healthy. There are a few places where they are stored, one is disk_info.log (in the log zip).
