You can exit Storage Manager and perform other activities on the system while the build continues. Arrays can be accessed while the initialization occurs as a background task. Furthermore, redundant arrays provide redundancy immediately although the performance of the array will be less than optimal until the initialization is complete. RAID 1 arrays are created by copying the data on one drive of the mirrored pair to the other. If you have specified a RAID 1 array, 3-16
