The real reason is a follows, and is the same reason I was such and ass in this message thread. (my wrath is not always directed at the person asking for help either, unless they join the mix)
There are a lot of people who want help on these units out there. There is also a lot of bogus or misleading information out there. People without the in depth knowledge or experience on these need to know who/where to listen to or go for decent information. It is that simple, don't read anything into it.
Sometimes I offer help, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I can be an ass, sometimes a soft touch. Sometimes I get paid, sometimes I don't. Etc etc etc. It is mine to choose for myself when and which. Many factors, none the least my PTSD mood, fit into this choice. But, one thing you can bank on for sure, if I (or David) tell you something is a fact, you can bet we have verified it to be a fact and know it as such before we put it out that way.

Dude, you make it real hard to be nice to you, and now you're going to look like an ass, because you are.
I told you in email that the second slot has issues and you run over here like a little kid because you want everyone to know how right you are.
Well, you're STILL wrong, because you posted without all of the facts.
When I took the second drive out, and only used three drives for a RAID 5 I still had the same results. I still had the same crappy transfer rates.
You have no one to blame but yourself for looking stupid. Stop trying to shut everyone up here who comes and says anything bad about these things. They have problems, just like every other piece of hardware can. What you do is irresponsible. You scare off all the bad, LEGITIMATE, experinces that people have with these, and paint the picture that they are perfect, TRICKING others into thinking these things are the best thing since sliced bread. It's immoral, and there laws against it. You can't silence bad press about products just because you have a hard on for them, or you work for them, or whatever.
Good day.
