I have a drive activity light that stays on all the time on my USB3 RAID Tower caused by a defective hard drive. I swapped the drive with a drive in my other DrivePool that's inside my Mid-Tower Case to correct the problem. When copying files between the two pools my transfer speeds went from 160-100 MB/s to 40-20 MB/s. When speeds are 160-100 MB/s DrivePool 1 are all in USB3 RAID Tower and DrivePool 2 are in ESATA3 RAID Tower and one drive on ASMedia SATA3. So I'm using both of the ASMedia SATA3 ports.
When transfer speeds are 40-20 MB/s DrivePool 1 has three drives in USB3 RAID Tower and one drive on ASMedia SATA3 port. DrivePool 2 has three drives on ESATA3 and one drive in USB3 RAID Tower.
I know what you're going to say Drashna. It's my drivers. I just thought this was interesting and wondered if anybody had any idea what was causing this. Needles to say I reverted back to the original configuration.
I think my only solution now is to purchase another 3TB HD and clone the DrivePool drive.
