RAID Operations

I perform RAID sync operations during which I measure the time the NAS needs to complete these tasks—average power consumption for these rebuild and synchronization periods is also measured. In NAS servers with four bays or more, I rebuild and sync RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6 arrays, while in smaller two-bay NAS servers, I am confined to a RAID 1 array. The Bitmap option is disabled in NAS servers that support it to produce comparable results because it speeds up RAID rebuild times.


Rebuild times are extremely short with the corresponding option in Storage Manager selected, especially in RAID 5 and 6.
