RAID Operations
We perform RAID sync operations during which we measure the time the NAS needs to complete these tasks; average power consumption for these rebuild and synchronization periods is also measured. In NAS servers with four bays or more, we rebuild and sync RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6 arrays, while in smaller two-bay NAS servers, we are confined to a RAID 1 array. The Bitmap option is disabled in NAS servers that support it to produce comparable results since it speeds up RAID rebuild times.

Pretty short sync and rebuild periods, and power consumption is kept low as well.
