Is there a way that will speed this up? The drives are new, but contain random

Most of the wait I would assume is due to the size of the volume and
creating parity. If it was my array I'd probably just sit tight and
wait it out.

It would be interesting to know whether hardware RAID would behave any
differently or allow the sync to perform in the background. I have
only 1.5TB in RAID5 across 4 x 500gb drives at present; IIRC the
expansion from 3 x drives took some hours, but I can't recall the
initial setup.
