Drive Group 0 and Span 0 appear in the Drive groups field when you select
RAID 10, 50, or 60.
The RAID controller supports RAID levels 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. In addition, it
supports independent drives (configured as RAID 0 and RAID 00). The screen
text gives a brief description of the RAID level you select. RAID levels you can
choose depend on the number of drives available. To learn more about RAID
levels, see

security and encryption.
