I recently purchased a Terramaster NAS U4-423. I installed some mixed size shucked drives (not recommended, I know) and the raid is syncing. In one day it synced up to about 70%, but has been at a crawl for the last 12 hours taking ~10 minutes per .01%. I have 2 questions I’m hoping fellow Data Hoarders could assist with:
- Is this long sync time typical? I’m new to RAID, and I’m wondering if I should just leave it alone and be patient, or if it will actually take the 20 more days the current math suggests. For context I’m using TRAID.
- Would I be better off with Unraid? I don’t have an issue paying the license fee if the experience would be better. I haven’t been impressed with TOS so far. If I did install Unraid, do they have an option to use mixed size discs?
Any insights would be appreciated!
