(1) Step 1: Configure Volume
Here you can configure the new RAID volume by entering the volume name,
selecting the RAID level and strip size.
RAID Volume Name:
A desired RAID volume name needs to be typed in where the 'RAID_Volume0' text
currently appears above. The RAID volume name has a maximum limit of 16 characters.
The RAID volume name must also be in English alphanumeric ASCII characters.
RAID Level:
Select the desired RAID level:
RAID 0 (Performance) –
RAID 1 (Redundancy) –
Strip Sizes:
Select the desired strip size setting. As indicated, the optimal setting is 128KB. Se-
lecting any other option may result in performance degradation. Even though 128KB
is the recommended setting for most users, you should choose the strip size value
which is best suited to your specific RAID usage model. The most typical strip size
settings are:
4KB: For specialized usage models requiring 4KB strips
8KB: For specialized usage models requiring 8KB strips
16KB: Best for sequential transfers
32KB: Good for sequential transfers
64KB: Good general purpose strip size
128KB: Best performance for most desktops and workstations

A volume optimized for performance will allow you to
access your data more quickly.
A volume optimized for data redundancy will provide
you with a realtime duplicate copy of your data. Note:
Only half of the available volume space will be avail-
able for data storage.
