Determining your configuration
Caution: Configuring a disk array writes format-type
data onto its member disks and overwrites all the files
on those disks. Be sure to back up data that requires
retention.
• All supported RAID levels (0,1,5,10) can be created based on
the number of drives that the ATA RAID Controller supports.
• Multiple arrays of supported RAID levels can be implemented
on a single controller based on the number of drives that the
ATA RAID Controller supports.
The 3ware Disk Array Configuration main display shows the cur-
rent disk drive configuration.
•
Available Drives reports independent drives (JBOD) not associ-
ated with an array and hot spares.
• Disk Arrays lists any existing arrays along with their member
disks.
