To create a RAID select units, then from List Box select what type of RAID it will be, 
then select desired Chunk size. After setting all demanded parameters press Create 
button. 

 

Allow to create degraded mode  

It allows creating RAID1 with one unit, RAID5 with two units or RAID6 with three 
units, even if minimal number of units is not meet. 

 

 Chunk size - its a minimal portion of data that is written at a time. 

 

Available RAIDS: 

 

RAID 0:  it is stripe array and requires [minimum] 2 units. In RAID 0 you can set the 
Chunk size 4k ÷ 256k. The destination size of the RAID Array will be the sum of each 
drive size in array. 
 
RAID  1:    mirror  array  requires  2  units.  Destination  size  will  be  equal:  SINGLE) 
UNIT_SIZE, where (SINGLE) UNIT_SIZE is the size of the smallest unit in array. 
 
RAID 5:   parity algorithm array (required [minimum] 3 units - with the same 
capacity).  You  can  choose  from  the  List  Boxes:  (layout)  parity-algorithm  [left/right] 
[symmetric/asymmetric]. 

DESTINATION 

SIZE: 

(NR_OF_UNITS-

1)*(SINGLE)UNIT_SIZE,  where  (SINGLE)  UNIT_SIZE  is  the  size  of  the  smallest 
unit in array. 
 
The (layout) parity-algorithm in RAID 5 is described below.  
 
RAID 5 (layout) parity-algorithm 
It is possible to set one of four algorithms of placement data blocks and parity blocks 
in matrix. Our default option is left symmetric, which is the best for large reads. Other 
recommended value is left asymmetric.
