existing data on the first disk or press "D" to overwrite it.
If you keep the existing data, this is called a migration. The first disk
will be mirrored onto the second one, so the data you want to keep
must be on the first disk added to the volume. And in this way, any
data on the second disk is overwritten.
5.2 Creating an IME (RAID 1E) volume: Repeat this step to select
a total of three to eight disks for the volume (or three to seven
disks if you will create a global hot spare).
5.3 Creating IS (RAID 0) volume: There are several limitations
when creating an IS (RAID 0) volume.
5.3.1 All disks must be either SATA or SAS (with SMART support);
Disks must have 512-byte blocks and must not have
removable media;
5.3.2 There must be 2 (included) to 8 (included) drives in a valid IS
volume. Hot spare drives are not allowed;
5.3.3 After disks have been added, the Array Size field will reflect
the size of the new volume.
6. When the volume has been fully configured, press "C" and then
select save changes and exit this menu to commit the
changes.
Note: Integrated striping (RAID 0) does not provide any data protection in the
event of disk failure. It is primarily used to increase speed.
