I have a similar setup with 4 750G SATA drives. The box is failry beefy, with 8 processor cores and a PCI-E SATA controler (3Ware 9650SE). For an initial sync, it will take about 315 minutes to complete. I'm not sure if this is a fair comparison, since Rainer was do a resync. md8 : active raid5 sdx1[4] sdw1[2] sdv1[1] sdu1[0] 2197209600 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/3] [UUU_] [>....................] recovery = 1.6% (12015536/732403200) finish=312.3min speed=38437K/sec I'm probably splitting hairs at this point.
