Selecting the Striping Block Size

1. Tab to the Free Disks section. The first disk in the list is selected.

2. Move it from the Free Disks block to the Array Disks block by pressing the right arrow key ( ). The first disk in the list is moved, and the next disk in the list is selected and ready to be moved.
