Hello,
My disk array is waiting at home for me and I'm wondering if anyone is able to answer this question.

I ordered the diskless r4 and I will be loading it up with 4 3TB drives. Once i set it up in raid5 and start the sync process does it have to stay connected to the computer until it finishes or will it continue to set up the array if I dismount the drive and unplug it from the computer.

I'm waiting for my new machine and currently can only hook it up to my laptop to get it set up.

Thank you,

James
 
To answer my own question. It has to be connected the entire time.
