Rebuilding Times
Rebuilding a protected RAID array takes many hours, depending on the capacity of the disks and your NAS'
available resources (concurrent tasks such as backups or torrent downloads will slow rebuilding). Changing to
an unprotected RAID mode (ie RAID0) takes less than a minute. Note that data is accessible during rebuilding.
