SYNCHRONIZE ARRAY
The Synchronize Array menu allows the user to synchronize the data on each drive. Synchronization is a maintenance procedure for fault tolerant arrays (RAID 1, 0+1, 3 and 5) to maintain data consistency on all drives. To synchronize the array, go to the Configuration menu and select Configure Array; then select Advance Features and choose Synchronize Array.

Note
Promise Technology suggests synchronizing an array once a month.
Synchronization is a preventative maintenance measure used to avoid problems with data integrity. Synchronizing simply recalculates redundant data (similar to the rebuild process) and matches the data on the drive(s).
REBUILD/SYNC PRI.
Assigns the amount of importance that UltraTrak100 gives to rebuilding/synchronizing data in the background. A High setting assigns most of UltraTrak100’s resources to the rebuild process at the expense of responding to ongoing read/write data requests by the operating system. A Low setting gives priority to ongoing read/write data requests by the operating system at the expense of the rebuild/synchronization process and will typically result in longer rebuild/synchronization times. The default setting is High. To set the Rebuild/Sync priority, go to the Configuration menu and select Configure Array; then select Advance Features and choose Rebuild/Sync Pri.
