You can also use 'systat vmstat', which shows the same info, but I
prefer it; with a window with more than 24 lines, it can show more
disks.

I would try to test the drives with dd, separate from raidframe.

But, a 1TB drive, assuming 80 MB/s, should take about 3.6h, so
someth9ing is off.

Your iostat output shows 1.5 MB/s, which is not healthy.

Also, you might check your SATA cables.

I've removed & reseated the SATA cables, no difference. systat vmstat shows :

top also shows :

Something's driving CPU0 to 100% interrupts. I'm guessing that's the raid reconstruct.

I think the drives are running at close to 100% "busy". I guess I should dd wd0 and see how long it takes? wd1 seems to be fine, it did a newfs in ~15 mins from memory on the raid0 array
