4.6.1 Slicing
RAID slicing overcomes the inherent design of how data is stored on a drive or RAID system by
subdividing a RAID array into segments, or slices. These slices are effective hardware partitions
of all drives in the array. Each slice is a separate LUN and appears as a separate volume on the
host computer. After slicing, the LUN map must be set for each slice.
Usage Scenario:
The access speed of the data stored in the
outer circle is faster than the inner circle.
Suppose there are two slices in a hard
drive, Slice 0 locates in the outer circles
while Slice 1 in the inner circle, for
audio/video editing, you may store video
data in Slice 0 and audio data in Slice 1.
Follow the steps below to select an array to slice or merge.
