Summary
The config command has two options: Automatic and Express.
Automatic configuration takes all available unconfigured physical drives to create an optimized
disk array following a default set of parameters. There are no options.
Express configuration takes your input, creates one or two arrays, and spreads their capacity
evenly over all of the logical drives that you specify.
The redundancy option creates redundant logical drives (RAID 1, 10, 1E, 5, 50, 6, or 60).
The capacity option enables optimizes the logical drives for capacity. The performance option
optimizes the logical drives for performance.
If you choose all three options, redundancy gets highest priority and capacity gets lowest
priority.
Note that you cannot combine HDDs and SSDs in the same disk array. If your system has both
type of drives, it will create separate disk array/logical drive sets for each type of physical drive.

auto Automatic configuration with no options. Creates an optimized disk array. One
