select the initialization type for the virtual disk.
Notes

You can click the Information of Array Capacity area to set the remaining
capacity of the array for the disk.

It is recommended to create one virtual disk of an array.

At least 100 GB capacity are configured for each virtual disk.

There are three initialization types, Background, Foreground, and Fast.
o
Fast (Not Recommended): The fast initialization is quick, only
initializes part of the data of the virtual disk, and cannot detect bad
sectors.
o
Foreground (Recommended): By using foreground initialization,
the virtual disk is completely initialized and the bad sector of the
hard disks is detected and repaired. The virtual disk is used only
after the initialization is complete.
o
Background: The background initialization can synchronize the
disks, detect, and repair the bad sector of the disks. During the
background initialization, the virtual disk is allowed.
