Generally though it is not a good idea to pull the plug on a syncing raid array (unless you really have no choice). With the other platforms, the time estimates are approximate, and often vary as the syncing proceeds. Note that the raw disk transfer speed varies a huge amount over the disk surface (bit density and rotation speed are constant, so you get a lot more bits per second when you are reading the innermost part of the platter).
Anyway, try to let it run to completion. If it doesn't complete after 24 hours, open a support ticket. If it does complete, check the disk health/SMART statistics.
