So I'm guessing if you had to wipe and rebuild one of the old disks it would again be 20 hours. So what's different about the new disk? Yes I know it's a 2.5". But could it be it's SATA-3 as opposed to the old ones being SATA-2? There's a whole bunch of things it could be. But my money's on it having a bigger cache. The ETA is based on how fast it can read from the existing array and the rebuild hasn't yet filled the cache. Once that fills up and the disk write speed kicks in, the ETA will start climbing fast as the write speed starts dominating the ETA. That said, it'll probably be faster than the old 20hrs, but I don't know by how much.
