Important
If you use hard disk drives in the RAID system or change the RAID level,
initialize the hard disk drives. If the hard disk drive used in the RAID system
contains valuable data, be sure to back up the hard disk drive before installing
the RAID controller and configuring the RAID system.
Note
In the RAID system, use hard disk drives that have the same specifications
(capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each disk array.
Tips
Logical drives can be created even with only one physical device.
