How hey behave with the Areca 1882x?

I attach the best configuration I’ve been able to get with the 3 WD caviar black drives.
I set TLER setting to Disabled and Read Performance Margin to 20%

Still, I wil be moving to RE4 drives just because the TLER issue I read in the forums.

Hi guys,

I’m having similar issues with the Areca 1882x, 3 WD Caviar black 6 GB/s and Proavio unit. The read and write speed is what I expected, but the read transfer rate is not stable. I think the problem is related to the WD caviar black, since I have heard that WD set high values for the TLER for the desktop version.

Should I buy the Hitachi Deskstar or move to the WD RE4?

Hi guys,

I also have an Areca 1882x, Proavio Editbox 8 and 3 WD caviar black 2 TB disks. I run AJA, and the system peaks at 360 MB/s, but it’s intermittent and ca go down to 250 MB/s. I updated the firmware, followed Paul Joy’s advices, but still no solution to the problem.

I’m using the WD caviar black as a test, but then I would like to fill the entire rack. Should I buy another set of drives?

Thanks in advance.
