How is the raid 1 rebuilding performance of this enclosure?

Sorry, but I'm not sure... I used 2 hdd 2.5 512 GB mirroring, for a year works fine, then one hdd die, but all the data was perfect at the other hdd. we can't see the rebuilding status, just the hardware swith.

I have 8 of these NAS drives in a non-RAID case. They are all setup as individual drives. I move them from one computer to the next with no problems.

I'm using 12 WD RE 4TB drives in two different RAID configurations: 8 in RAID 10, 4 in RAID 0. The 8 RAID 0 drives have ~3200 hours uptime, and the RAID 0 drives have ~4000 hours on them at this time, and I've had no reported errors on any of the drives.

Absolutely. there are always SOME weird motherboards and some NAS's that don't like certain HDD's, so it isn't guaranteed, but it's a real nice, solid, good working drive. Read some reviews on it. In RAID 0, by the way, you can make up for the 5400 RPM and make these things scream and still have the low heat, low power consumption.

Yes - and basically, it's whichever WD Green SATA drive is plentiful inventory-wise at the build time for these enclosures, so it varies from batch to batch. But they're all in the same category of performance and specs. I've gone through 4 of them just to harvest the drives as they're typically a little less cost than the bare drive at some vendors.

i dont know! but i wish to upgrade mine to 1tb if and when i open the shell! with 8 cameras i only get about 2wks of memory before it is recorded over! the whole unit vibrates mildly and stays warm! i wish someone could tell me how easy it is to put a new 1tb drive in it!!

Hi, I suggest buying a caddy to put your drives in, I assume SATA, and then you can transfer them without issue to the RAID. You can usually buy USB Caddy or enclosures for less than $20. Hope this helps.BR,Dave

Don't use raid with FreeNAS, setup a zpool with raid-z1. Zfs is awesome, just put tons of ram in and make a zil cache.

I have this set up as a RAID-5 and hosted on a Lenovo M92p Tiny Form Factor via USB3 connection. The drive is set to be shared with homegroup users, however I have set persistent drive mappings on 4 different systems on internal 1gbps Ethernet LAN and 144mbps 802.11n wireless LAN connected computers and notice no degradation in overall performance.

Yes, It is very conservative when it comes for the disks. My diskstation rejected 2 hard drives of mine that I never suspected. One of those disks died one month later. Anyway the raid config is still the best choice to avoid surprises.

Yes, I have two internal drives running off this card, paired in a RAID 1, set up through Win 7. If your motherboard and OS supports RAID, it's not a problem.

I don't know what RAID 1 is but I will say that Windows overall rating of my system went from 5.0 to 6.9.

Yes, This drive will run fine in a RAID 0,1,5 setups. I have tested in all three formats and currently run 1 setup in a RAID 1 and a 2 setups in RAID 5's.

I'm using it in a server raid 1 for data backup. I would say yes on NAS configuration. Because of the slower speed I would not use it as a drive setup to run programs from. Just for data.

Yes it will work with RAID 1, as both drives have identical data and each can be read separately.

Yes, it comes with two 7200 rpm drives already in place. And it is capable of being set for either Raid 1 or Raid 0. Just remember that if you decide to change between either Raid 1 or 0 that you will lose all data previously saved. So make sure you know which one you want to use before starting.

i have run dual raid 0 i have raid 10 and raid 1 i have not tryed dual raid 1 but it shold work fine
