 Rebalancing data across all pools after an expansion is an expensive operation that requires scanning the entire deployment and moving objects between pools.
 This may take a long time to complete depending on the amount of data to move.

 Rebalancing does not block ongoing operations and runs in parallel to all other I/O. 
 This can result in reduced performance of regular operations. 
 Consider scheduling rebalancing operations during non-peak periods to avoid impacting production workloads.
