Define Array <3>
The Define Array screen allows users to begin the process of defining the drive
elements and RAID levels for each disk array. Users will commonly create one
or two drive arrays with FastTrak66, though the card will support a maximum
of four arrays. [A user may use a single drive in either striping or spanning
mode with FastTrak66. In this rare scenario, the card will create an individual
array ID but will offer conventional controller performance, depending on the
drive type. At a later time, a second drive can be added to the array and the
array re-created to support RAID 1 mirroring].
