It has been 19 trouble free days since the factory reset. Today, updated to 6.4.2, and it seems to be running great.
Thanks for your help.

This is probably normal - how big are the drives?
Empty drives take the same amount of time to sync as full drives. RAID creates a virtual disk that the btrfs file system uses.
The sync requires either reading or writing every sector in the data volume (whether used by btrfs or not). This is needed to compute the partity blocks.
Thank you for the info. They are all 4TB drives, so I will just let them go. They are almost up to 29% synced, which is much farther along then they ever got before factory reset, so it looks good. Thanks.
