===2009/07/10: Benchmarking on Windows again===
 +
The replacement WD10EADS has started developing bad blocks, too.  So I'm not too impressed with Western Digital right now.  It could just be that such high-density hard drives are now too delicate to survive shipping, though.  Both of these drives were ordered online and who knows what the carrier did with them.  (I don't really remember how well they were packed or who delivered them.  Probably UPS though.)
 +
 +
Consequently, a few days ago I had re-installed the FYPS, formatted it with ext4, and started copying all my files back to it, because I figured it's better to have a slow drive than one that's in danger of losing everything.  Both were attached to the SATA connectors on the motherboard in my MythTV box, so it should have been plenty fast (no USB or network involved).  But in a couple of days it had only copied 50GB, so I figured at that rate it's going to take a few weeks to copy the whole drive, and I didn't know which drive to blame for this slowness since both of them are acting up now.  So much for that idea... I didn't want to wait so long especially since the EADS might deteriorate more during that time.
 +
 +
Meanwhile I got around to buying and installing a PCI SATA controller in my Windows box: the Rosewill RC-212, and attached just the WD1000FYPS to it.  Then formatted it with NTFS, one large partition.  That itself took several hours I think (I gave up waiting and went to bed).  Then the next morning, started up IOMeter.
 +
 +
Here are the results with IOMeter:
 +
[[Image:WD1000FYPS-bad-latency-iometer1.png]]<br clear=left/>
 +
So at least some of the time, the read latency was 21 seconds!  Yep, that at least agrees with my observed behavior on Linux: sometimes it just takes too long for any particular operation.  But not always.  I think we can safely say this drive has something wrong with it, and ReiserFS is not the culprit.
 +
 +
IOMeter created a file filling the entire filesystem (931 GB (1,000,104,140,800 bytes)) and I guess it did reads and writes within that file, to test various parts of the disk.  I left it running during a normal workday (started it before I left for work, and stopped it and examined the results when I got home).
 +
 +
Last night I got a Seagate 1.5TB drive at Fry's (packed in a nice retail box, with no shipping involved, except however they ship the pallets to Fry's), put the EADS and the new one in the Myth box, formatted the new one with ext4, and restarted the copying.  Now, in about 18 hours it's gotten 150 gigs copied (but some files are corrupted; I'm logging the output from <code>cp</code> so I will know which ones, and then we'll see which ones are backed up somewhere else).  That's more like it, speed-wise.  So by comparison the FYPS has just gotten hopelessly slow, and the EADS is not that slow yet (just has bad blocks).
 +
 +
I will have to RMA both of the Western Digitals and I hope they send me something reliable this time.

Latest revision as of 13:33, 11 July 2009

2009/01/18

My email to Western Digital:

I have a Linux box which I use for MythTV, SqueezeCenter, as a file server etc. The primary drive is a WD5000AAKS and performs quite well, so I use a large partition on it for the MythTV recordings. Later I added this WD1000FYPS for longer-term file storage, and I've always been dissatisfied with the performance. It's strange, because hdparm reports good results:

[neutron][01:34:48 PM] hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 1974 MB in 2.00 seconds = 986.64 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 198 MB in 3.01 seconds = 65.70 MB/sec

[neutron][01:49:00 PM] hdparm -tT /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 2160 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1080.53 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 224 MB in 3.02 seconds = 74.22 MB/sec

(it should be even faster than the 500 gig drive) but it seems like in normal usage, the seek time is really bad or something. The drive can go for several minutes at a time making rhythmic seek noises, much louder than the other one. While it is doing this, any files stored on that drive are not very accessible - even doing "ls" can take a very long time, as much as half a minute or so. I have not had any data loss though. I don't know what to blame the performance on, but I would bet that if I get a different model of terabyte drive and transfer everything to it, I will see a huge difference in performance. I just wondered if there are some known problems along these lines - something caused by the RAID optimization, or the "green" aspects or something that can be corrected with a firmware update, or maybe it's an actual defect (since I'm reading a lot of reviews about problems with this one, people losing all their data after a day, or a month). If I can still trust this drive not to lose data, maybe I just have to put it in a box and use it for an external backup drive, because it can transfer data reasonably fast as long as there's not too much seeking involved.

Then I tried Bonnie++... now it's very obvious there is a performance difference! On sdb it was crunching for many minutes, on sda for much less time. I guess it's telling me this drive has problems with file creation, but not sure how I can narrow down the problem further.

Now I've gotten a WD10EADS to see if the performance will improve, and I copied the complete filesystem as-is, since the disk has exactly the same geometry:

neutron][10:47:06 PM] dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdb
1953525168+0 records in
1953525168+0 records out
1000204886016 bytes (1.0 TB) copied, 40451.8 s, 24.7 MB/s

so it's still ReiserFS. Heeeeere's Bonnie:

yeah that seems like an improvement, at least some of the numbers are nearer to those of the 500GB drive. And I don't hear the "swishing" noises the older drive was always making. I think that drive is defective.

2009/02/01: Benchmarking on Windows

Since my Windows machine doesn't have SATA I had to connect it via USB.

2009/07/10: Benchmarking on Windows again

The replacement WD10EADS has started developing bad blocks, too. So I'm not too impressed with Western Digital right now. It could just be that such high-density hard drives are now too delicate to survive shipping, though. Both of these drives were ordered online and who knows what the carrier did with them. (I don't really remember how well they were packed or who delivered them. Probably UPS though.)

Consequently, a few days ago I had re-installed the FYPS, formatted it with ext4, and started copying all my files back to it, because I figured it's better to have a slow drive than one that's in danger of losing everything. Both were attached to the SATA connectors on the motherboard in my MythTV box, so it should have been plenty fast (no USB or network involved). But in a couple of days it had only copied 50GB, so I figured at that rate it's going to take a few weeks to copy the whole drive, and I didn't know which drive to blame for this slowness since both of them are acting up now. So much for that idea... I didn't want to wait so long especially since the EADS might deteriorate more during that time.

Meanwhile I got around to buying and installing a PCI SATA controller in my Windows box: the Rosewill RC-212, and attached just the WD1000FYPS to it. Then formatted it with NTFS, one large partition. That itself took several hours I think (I gave up waiting and went to bed). Then the next morning, started up IOMeter.

Here are the results with IOMeter: WD1000FYPS-bad-latency-iometer1.png
So at least some of the time, the read latency was 21 seconds! Yep, that at least agrees with my observed behavior on Linux: sometimes it just takes too long for any particular operation. But not always. I think we can safely say this drive has something wrong with it, and ReiserFS is not the culprit.

IOMeter created a file filling the entire filesystem (931 GB (1,000,104,140,800 bytes)) and I guess it did reads and writes within that file, to test various parts of the disk. I left it running during a normal workday (started it before I left for work, and stopped it and examined the results when I got home).

Last night I got a Seagate 1.5TB drive at Fry's (packed in a nice retail box, with no shipping involved, except however they ship the pallets to Fry's), put the EADS and the new one in the Myth box, formatted the new one with ext4, and restarted the copying. Now, in about 18 hours it's gotten 150 gigs copied (but some files are corrupted; I'm logging the output from cp so I will know which ones, and then we'll see which ones are backed up somewhere else). That's more like it, speed-wise. So by comparison the FYPS has just gotten hopelessly slow, and the EADS is not that slow yet (just has bad blocks).

I will have to RMA both of the Western Digitals and I hope they send me something reliable this time.

WHAT is the fair speed of an unladen volume? (h2benchw again)
