4.Use the up or down arrow key to move the selection bar and press <Enter> to configure further RAID settings.

RAID Level: Select a RAID Level. Configuration options: [RAID 0] [RAID 1]

Stripe Size: Specifies the size of single data block on the virtual disk. In general, a larger stripe size is recommended for applications requiring large data transfers such as audio, video, and graphics. A smaller stripe size is better for applications with content in much smaller size, such as e-mails and documents.

Configuration options: [32K] [64K]

Gigabyte Rounding: In the event of a single physical disk failure in a RAID 1 virtual disk, Gigabyte Rounding allows the replacement physical disk to be of a size slightly smaller than the existing physical disk. The capacity of the rebuilt virtual disk equals to the size of the smaller physical disk included in the RAID 1 array. The configuration options represent the tolerance value of drive capacity difference.

Configuration options: [None] [1G] [10G]

Name: Enter a name with 1–10 letters (no special characters) for the RAID array.

5.Move the selection bar to Next and press <Enter>. The following warning message appears:
