Creating a RAID Volume
On SmartStor, the term RAID Volume refers to one or more disk drives working
together as a RAID logical drive.
You can also use a USB disk to create a RAID Volume. See "Viewing an
External USB Drive or Memory Stick" on page 162.
You must have unassigned disk drives in your SmartStor to create a new RAID.
To create a new RAID Volume:
