NOTE:
A "Logical Drive" is a set of drives grouped together to operate under a
given RAID level and appears as a single contiguous drive. The ASUS
PCI-DA2100/-DA2200 is capable of grouping connected drives into 8
logical drives, each operating on the same or different RAID levels. The
logical drive can be further divided into a maximum of 8 "Partitions".

drive.
