• Use it in the default striped RAID configuration without backup
encryption.
• Convert it to a mirrored RAID configuration and use it without backup
encryption.
• Convert it to individual drives and use one of them with or without
backup encryption.
(See "Changing the Device Configuration" on page 13.)
