So I'm in the process of building and testing a raid setup and it appeared
to take along time to build I came across some settings for setting the min
amount of time and that helped but it appears that one of the disks is
struggling  (100 utilization) vs the other one...I was wondering if anyone
else has seen this and if so, is their a solution for it...my 2 disks are 1
Samsung F3 1tb /dev/sdb and 1 Seagate 7200.12 1Tb /dev/sdc...smartctl looks
good on both....
