Click OK. Resynchronization will start automatically. File transfers and system performance will be slower while
resynchronization is running, which will take about 23 hours for a RAID 5 volume and about 2–3 hours for a
mirrored volume per a 4 TB TeraStation model. Resynchronization cannot be canceled.
The new volume will be created. Next, create a shared folder by referring to the
