Synchronization is automatically applied to redundant logical drives when they are created. Synchronization
recalculates the redundancy data to ensure that the working data on the physical drives is properly in sync.
Mouse-over on the logical drive, click the View button, and look under Logical Drive Information beside the line
that says Synchronized. A Yes means the logical drive was synchronized. See “Viewing Logical Drive Information”
on page 198.

Batteries maintain power to the controller cache in the event of a power failure, thus protecting any data that
has not been written to a physical drive. Reconditioning is the action of discharging and recharging a battery to
preserve its capacity and performance.
