By default an array is created in stripe mode. When you select this field, a pop-up
window displays the following options:
RAID MODE
STRIPE

RAID 10
Select the intended RAID mode by using the arrow navigation keys and pressing
Enter. When a mirror configured array has a drive fail, a spare drive can be used to
replace the failed drive and rebuild the array.
Drive(s)
There is no default setting for this field. You must select the drives for the configured
array. When this field is selected, a pop-up window displays all of the available
physical drives with check-boxes.

mode as the array type, you must select two drives to be in the array. This pop-up
window displays only when configuring RAID 0 (Stripe) and RAID 1 (Mirror) arrays.
