    Not really.  The sync does run at a lower priority than file transfers, so if you use the NAS heavily it can take longer.  But just connecting it to the network won't affect the running time.

    It has to access every sector on every drive, so it will be doing 42 TB of disk I/O.  So it will definitely take a while.

     

    The time shown in the web ui is just an estimate.
