Has anybody got any experience of building a 3 X 400GB disk RAID5 array on an N4100?? My build has been running for over 60 hours and is still only 75% finished the rate is slowing down and I'm not sure if this is usual or an error. E-mailed Thecus Support but no response which looking at this user group is not unusual!! Any info or Help would be appreciated.  |

What is your HDD model? firmware version? That might give a clue.

Wait until you try to build a Raid 5 array with 4 1tb drives. It took mine DAYS!! I hope I never have to rebuild it.

I just finished building my 4x750GB RAID5. Took 21 hours, a long time but this isn't something I expect doing often so I don't mind that much |

I just rebuilt mine this week. Takes 2 1/2 days to build a raid 5 with 4 x 1TB drives. Worst part is I missed a checkbox the first time for one of the drives and didn't realize it so after waiting 2 1/2 days I had to do it all over again.
And to top it off I have to write back a little over 1TB of data to it now at 3.5 - 4 MB/sec. What a joke this thing is for network speeds.
