■
RAID Level, select a RAID level (RAID 0, RAID 1).
■
Max Size (MB), is the size of the RAID virtual disk as determined by the selected
RAID level. It is property of the virtual disk that cannot be edited.
■
Stripe Size, specifies the size (32K, 64K) of single data block on the virtual disk.
The larger the stripe size, the longer it takes for the controller to read from and
write to data blocks on the physical disks. In general, a larger stripe size is recom-
mended for most applications. The default size is 64K.
■
Gigabyte Rounding, define the flexibility in size for a replacement physical disk
that is used to rebuild a degraded virtual disk. It is applicable to RAID 1 level only.
Although the selection remains available for RAID 0, it only affects the size of the
RAID 0 virtual disk (because RAID 0 does not offer redundancy).
■
Quick Init, enable or disable quick initialization of the virtual disk. The default set-
ting for [Quick Init] is "Yes".
■
VD Name, type a new virtual disk name.
■
Disk ID, lists the IDs of the physical disks comprising the virtual disk. It is property
of the virtual disk that cannot be edited.
