PIKE 1078 does not support the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) function.
You may use disks of different sizes; however, the size of the smallest disk
determines the "logical" size of each member disk.
DO NOT combine Serial ATA and SAS disk drives in one volume.
The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and
may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller
version difference.
