NOTE:
1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on
the RAID configuration options. PATA drives connected on the same
IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID 1 array.
Avoid mixing PATA and SATA disk drives in a RAID 1 array.
2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array. The
excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because data
stripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array.
