Re: ADVICE PLEASE: On a annoying RAID issue.

Chris, that does not look good. Apart from using Green drives which are not recommended for RAID use there could be something else causing the peformance issues.

Which PCI-e slot is the Areca card installed in?

Drop me an email, I have a few tweaks that may improve your situation. For the moment I would recommend creating two 4-drive RAID sets and volumes. Compare the performance between the two volumes and see if the numbers are consistent. From there we can try to isolate the issue and determine if we have a potential problem with one or more drives.
