Adding an 18TB to a small Synology array takes days as it is. Adding a drive this size would take at least a week I think.

- Hamuko 3y agoThe biggest problem that I have with adding big drives to my NAS is the amount of prep work. badblocks takes fucking forever against bigger drives. It was like, 5 days to run three passes of badblocks against a 12 TB drive or something?
- bombcar 3y agoIs it even worth running something like badblocks before adding drives anymore? I guess if you want to be absolutely sure it's "clean" but most drives do intelligent remapping internally anyway, so "add and scrub afterwards" may be the way to go.
- Hamuko 3y agoI feel like it's less of a bother to diagnose if the drive needs to be returned immediately and not after you've already slapped it into your RAID.
