3.7.5.14 Capacity Truncation

Areca RAID controllers use drive truncation so that drives from
different vendors are more likely to be usable as spares for one
another. Drive truncation slightly decreases the usable capac-
ity of a drive that is used in redundant units. The controller
provides three truncation modes in the system configuration:
Multiples Of 10G, Multiples Of 1G and Disabled.
