Creating a RAID 0 set (Stripe)
To create a RAID 0 set:
1.
From the Define a New Array menu, select RAID
Mode, then press <Enter>. A pop-up menu
appears.
2.
Use the up or down arrow keys to select
Striping, then press <Enter>.
3.
Press <TAB> to move to the Striping Block
option, then press <Enter>.
4.
Use the up or down arrow keys to select the
stripe block size appropriate to your drive usage,
then press <Enter>.
The available stripe size values range from 8KB to 128KB. The default
stripe size is 128 KB. You must choose the stripe size value based on
the projected drive usage. For low disk usage, select 8 KB/16 KB. For
typical disk usage, select 64 KB. Select 128KB for performance disk
usage.
TIP. For server systems, we recommend using a lower array block
size. For multimedia computer systems used mainly for audio and
video editing, we recommend a higher array block size for optimum
performance.
5.
Press <TAB> to move to the Free Disks section.
6.
Highlight the hard disk drives that you want to add in the RAID set,
then press the right arrow key to select. The selected hard disk drives
appear in the Array Disks section. Repeat the process until all desired
hard disk drives are added.
