Normal operations can go on during a rebuild, but performance may be degraded. The Rebuild Rate controls the rate at which a rebuild is done. A high Rebuild Rate (over 50%) speeds up the rebuild, but slows system performance. A low Rebuild Rate (under 50%) slows the rebuild process, but speeds up system performance. The default setting for the Rebuild Rate is 50%. 103
