Master RAID checkbox.

5. Tick the checkboxes under the "member" heading of the hard disks you
wish to use to create a RAID.
6. Specify a stripe size — 64K is the default setting.

for a detailed description of each.
In a multiple RAID configuration, one RAID volume must be
designated as the Master RAID volume. The Master RAID volume will
store all installed modules. If the Master RAID is changed to another
location (i.e. assigning HDD 2 to be the Master RAID volume after
HDD 1 had been previously assigned), then all modules must be
reinstalled. In addition, all system folders that were contained on the
Master RAID volume will be invisible. Reassigning this volume to be
the Master RAID will make these folders visible again.
Select ZFS file system while snapshot is needed It is only one ZFS file
system allowed to be created per system.
ZFS file system is only accessible by CIFS/SMB, not for AFP and NFS
users.
Building a RAID storage space may take time, dep
hard drives and RAID mode.
Creating RAID destroys all data in the current RAID volume. The data is
unrecoverable.
