I'm changing my shiny new Pegasus3 R8 80 from RAID5 to RAID6. (I want the extra redundancy.) That's done. But it is synchronizing now, and from previous experience with Pegasus2 units, I know this can take 70+ hours. But looking at the manual, I see the option exists to control the amount of resources spent on synchronization vs. read/write actions. Does that mean I can immediately start copying files to my newly configured drive? Is there any reason to wait (such as reduced fragmentation), if immediate use is possible?
Is it necessary to wait for synchronization to complete following a change in RAID format?

Hi Larry,
The synchronization process will be running in the background.The device performance will not be optimal until background synchronization is completed. The synchronization process will take several hours to gets completed.
Please make sure to set the background synchronization rate is high.
- Open Promise Utility -> Click Background activities -> Click Settings -> Change the synchronization ratee to "High" and save it.
Thank you.
