Note:
After the RAID array is changed, the TeraStation will perfom a RAID check that will take about 5 hours per TB. File
transfers will be slower during this period. While the "RAID ARRAY x Resyncing" message is displayed on the LCD
screen, do not turn off the TeraStation. If you turn it off, the RAID check will start over.
