# Synchronizing logical drives

If auto-synchronization is not supported on your controller, you must use this action to manually synchronize new RAID level-5, 5E, and 50 logical drives after you create them.

If data scrubbing is disabled or your controller firmware does not support data scrubbing, consider manually synchronizing your logical drives weekly using this action.

Manual synchronization can be a lengthy operation. You cannot perform any other actions on the controller until the manual synchronization is completed. Do not turn off the server until the manual synchronization is complete.

To synchronize a logical drive:

1. In the tree, click (logical drive).
2. Right-click Synchronize logical drive.
3. Click Yes to confirm. The ServeRAID Manager displays a progress indicator in the status bar.
