A hard disk can be synchronized at operating system level if a fault is detected. It may take a
very long time to synchronize a new hard disk in the background, depending on the size of
the hard disk and on the system load. It may take several hours or even days in the case of
extremely high hard disk load. Guide value for duration < 3 h with 90% HDD system load
and RAID5 with HDD 1 TB.
The safe system states RAID Level, for example, 1 are only reached once synchronization

case of a manually started maintenance operation until completion of the maintenance
phase.
