Greetings. It has come to my attention that the 8TB ShareSpace can take in excess of 40 hours to rebuild the array when reset to factory defaults?
Tell me this isn’t so…
Many thanks.
… and then some. Good luck 
In fairness, I should point out that I recently put a 6 X 2G RAID5 into my reasonably smart Ubuntu based file server and that took nearly 3 days to rebuild.
My Qnap (4 x 1G) took about 26 hours.
So, given that the WDSS isn’t over endowed with processing power, consider the job well done if it does it in 40 or less hours.
Cheers
44 hours. Incredible…

- *> Imagine if your business depended on your RAID5 and a HDD fails; now you’re waiting four days for a rebuild/ resync and there’s no guarantee it’ll work. So even with RAID5, you’re still gonna need a backup.> Storage may be cheap but it isn’t exactly user friendly yet
Well, if it were for a business environment you wouldn’t be using this ‘level’ of NAS. I.e., you’d have your Servers wherein any NAS attached to same would rebuild within a few minutes.
But to take this long just is not acceptable…

I was generalising about RAID5. As per my earlier post, even with smart hardware RAID rebuilds take time.
