So i’m testing one of the drives I got on amazon using an old computer. It started off promising, didn’t get any errors when formating the drive, write speed using a usb adapter at 25mb/s… Then it dropped off to 7mb/s and the expected time shot up from 40hours to 156h🤣

I’m going to let it run over night and see what happens in the morning. If I can get it to show 4tb without error I might still keep them to test out my geekworm pi nas, otherwise back to amazon you go!

    LOL

    You could buy 20 of them and make a RAID. So their cache sizes add up, and the total crawl speed as well 😆
