Hi I look after a large RAID5 array which is showing very slow writes. I’ve run long smartctltests on all the drives in the array and no errors are mentioned in the summaries. I am suspecting the following 2 drives - can anyone give me some advice please? I am looking at Raw_Read_Error_Rate and Multi_Zone_Error_Rate values and I’m thinking Drive 4 is probably in the worse shape. Here’s smartctl output from the long tests I ran last night:
Drive 0
