Hello, I just replaced teh 4 146 gb drives on my snap server with 4 500 gb drives. I set them up RAID 5, with all of the same settings that were there before.

However, now, it seems very....sluggish. I'm thinking that I may have caused the problem since I messed up witch of the old drives to pull and replace with the new drives first. I believe I pulled 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3. Does that make sense? Anway, it took about one week to resync. Also, when I checked the logs, I was getting weird messages.

So I reset everything and reimaged the server. This time, it took about 3 days to resync (1.31TB). Seemed better to me. It is working a little better, but I'm still getting these weird messages from the log.

Also, and I don't know if this matters, the lights on the two drives (on the side that doesn't have the power button) are lit up almost constantly during transfer, and the other two don't seem to be lit up even half as much or as intensely.

Anywho, here is what I pulled off of the logs:
