1000 hours to sync raid?

I've just purchased F5-221. I'm using 4TB drives. I've been experimenting with various number of drives to understand the NAS better. When I had three drives raid 5 and added another drive the system said it would take 1000 hours to sync. Is this an accurate estimate? Would it really have taken well over a month to add or replace a drive?

The sync time would be related to your HDD mode and capacity. May I know your HDD model number? Seagate Barracuda may take longer time for RAID rebuilding.

They are Ironwolf NAS drives. But even so, is a month to replace/integrate a 4TB drive whether Barracuda or Ironwolf the real expectation?

When I go to Online update it says I am on latest version.
I'll see if I can do a manual update.

I found TOS_S2.0_Install_X64_4.1.30_2008051459_2008061157.ins on the website. But the NAS won't accept this file for update. It is looking for a *.bin or *.bz2 file when I browse for the update on my PC. What should I do?

I've upgraded the system. Thanks.

I now have 5x4TB disks in raid 6. What is the expected time to synchronise the raid if one disk is replaced?
