When you execute RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration, the system will initialize the hard drives,
create the RAID device, format the RAID device, and mount it as a volume on the NAS. The progress
will be shown on the LCD panel. When it reaches 100%, you can connect to the RAID volume, for
example, create folders and upload files to the folders on the NAS. In the meantime, to make sure the
stripes and blocks in all the RAID component devices are ready, the NAS will execute RAID
synchronization and the progress will be shown on “Disk Management” > “Volume Management” page.
The synchronization rate is around 30-60 MB/s (varies depending on the hard drive models, system
resource usage, etc.)
No te : If a member drive of the RAID configuration was lost during the synchronization, the RAID
device will enter degraded mode. The volume data is still accessible. If you add a member drive to
the device, it will start to rebuild. You can check the status on the “Volume Management” page.
