Can anyone confirm that using two of the newer WD advanced format drives in a Raid 1 format -- you are able to successfully do a volume scan and extended SMART scan?
I can run the quick scan ok -- but the Extended test hits 10% on either drive and stops -- (the process is still running but not using any cpu)
and I can't run a volume scan at all.
I'm guessing it is because the drives are currently not aligned properly but I would like to confirm.
I'm using two 1.5tb EARS
