At a loss...


RobbieH

Question

Don't know what to do, or what the issue is. I have a problem with DrivePool that I can't figure out. My drives have gotten extremely slow, and I believe it has something to do with DP, or at minimum an issue with one of my drives. 

 

Since I thought the issue is related to DP, I uninstalled V1 and installed V2. It took forever for it to allow me to create the pool, and as of this minute, DP will not even open. 

 

If I click on Explorer to view my drives, the green bar at the top CRAWLS across as it is thinking, and then eventually I see no drive space estimate for the drive pool J:

If  you wonder why the one drive is called "Rormatted", it was so I could keep track with which of the Samsung/Seagate drives I had run chkdsk /f /B and then formatted. I did complete them both, and everything was going fine until yesterday.

 

Everything on the PC is at a snail's pace, even though the processor is sitting at 0-1%, with an occasional 3%.

Robbie,

 

First, I'm sorry to hear about the apparent drive failure/dying, as that is never a pleasant experience. :(

 

From what you describe, it definitely sounds like one of the drives may be dying.

However, if possible, check it's connection (make sure it's not a loose connection). And swap out the cable if you have a spare (make sure it's not just a bad cable that's causing the issues).

 

 

The drive is out of warranty, so I guess I'm buying some WD Red drives sooner than I thought.

Well, that really does suck. :(

However, getting some NAS drives is always good. :)
