3.1. About 2big Dual RAID Modes
In Fast mode, the two physical disks are striped
together (RAID 0) so that one larger logical volume
mounts on the desktop, offering the maximum possible
capacity like in Big mode (the available capacities of
each disk are cumulated) yet with greater speed than the
Big mode (the speed of each disk are cumulated to a
certain level).
ImpOrTANT INfO:
If one physical disk fails, the
data of both disks become inaccessible.
