New RN314 / EDA500 Owner concerned about Resync times
Long time ReadyNAS NV+ owner, just recently purchased a RN314 (used) and EDA500. Right now I have 4 x WD40EFRX in each chassis. Having just received new 4 x WD40EFRX for the EDA500 today, I insta...

Thanks for those who suggested patience!

For what it is worth my EDA500 with three 4TB drives took four days (96 hours) to resync/build. And the time estimates 'till completion improved significantly as it progressed. Have patience!
Also at some point -- if I recall at about 50% -- you should be able to look at the SMART stats for each drive in the array. But with a 314 the responsiveness of the management interface will be sloooow.

Another data point to those that are reading this in the future, I did some testing with my RN316 on OS 6.7.5:
EDA500 with 5x 4TB Seagate ST4000DM000 in RAID5 resync took ~41 hours.
EDA500 with 5x 4TB Seagate ST4000DM000 in RAID6 resync took ~44 hours.
I'm also going to try 4x 4TB Seagate ST4000DM000 in RAID10, just to see how long that takes.
