Increasing sharespace capacity from 4*1 TB 4*2 TB

Indeed I was just looking at that and other drives last night as well and said the exact same thing as not seeing the speeds at the site I was on. 

These did give me a little comparison though. 

 

There 2 green drives I have that are bad are just 1 year expired in warranty of 3 year manufacturer. That’s pretty poor if you ask me. One of which failed developed bad sectors and actually failed the raid just after 3 years. This second one I believe it what has been causing critical issue as well but just has not failed the array yet. But it surely has developed bad sectors. 

I could never understand when someone blames the unit for being slow. I generally would lay blame more on network performance being the issue before the unit. Even at a connection at 1gbit, your still only limited to how fast you can send the data. By no comparrison can network speed out compete drive speed. I’ve also always felt a better throughput with a switch then a router and less bottleneck.
