just bought two HGST Deskstar NAS 3TB (H3IKNAS30003272SE) and one of them is spiking a bit while the other is pretty damn even
should I return one of them before putting them in a RAID?
writing shows the same thing
anyone?
dunno man, didn't even check for this when i put my two WD Reds in RAID.

What you SHOULD be doing is running badblocks on both of them.

Or a surface read test.

What program should I use for a surface test?
that deviation is normal, your drive is fine. raid0 them if you want extra read and write perf, raid1 if you want redundancy in case one drive fails.
