Recommend use drives have same capacity in a specific array. If you use
drives with different capacities in an array, all drives in the raid set will
select the lowest capacity of the drive in the raid set.
The numbers of physical drives in a specific array determine the RAID
levels that can be implemented with the array.
RAID 0 requires 1 or more physical drives
RAID 1 requires at least 2 physical drives
RAID 1+Spare requires at least 3 physical drives
RAID 3 requires at least 3 physical drives
RAID 5 requires at least 3 physical drives
RAID 6 requires at least 4 physical drives.
RAID 3 +Spare requires at least 4 physical drives
RAID 5 + Spare requires at least 4 physical drives
RAID 6 + Spare requires at least 5 physical drives.

Set the capacity size for the current volume set. After Highlight RAID
level and press
Enter
key.
The selected capacity for the current volume set is displayed. Using the

arrow key to create the current volume set capacity size
and press
Enter
key to confirm. The available stripe sizes for the current
volume set are displayed.

Using
UP
and
DOWN
arrow key to select the current volume set stripe
size and press
Enter
key to confirm it. This parameter specifies the size
of the stripes written to each disk in a RAID 0, 1, 5 or 6 Volume Set. You
can set the stripe size to 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB.
A larger stripe size provides better-read performance, especially if your
computer does mostly sequential reads. However, if you are sure that
your computer does random read requests more often, choose a small
stripe size.

When you are finished defining the volume set, press

Press
Enter
key to define fast initialization or Selected the Background
(Instant Available). When background Initialization, the initialization pro-
ceeds as a background task, the volume set is fully accessible for system
reads and writes. The operating system can instantly access to the newly
created arrays without requiring a reboot and waiting the initialization
complete. When Initialization, the initialization proceeds must be com-
pleted before the volume set ready for system accesses.

Initialize the volume set you have just configured.
