WARNING!
All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If you use “used” drives to create a RAID array, make you have moved or backed up your data before creating a RAID array out of these disk drives.
Step 5. Next you will be prompted to provide a nickname for the created array. Upper and lower case alphabetic, numeric, space, and underscore characters are all applicable for naming an array.
Step 6. Once an array is successfully created, it will be listed in the list of the configured arrays.
NOTE:
To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposed limitations on the RAID configuration options. For example,
The change to stripe size takes effect on RAID0 arrays. Configurable options are: 64K (default), 32K, 16K, 8K, and 4K. If you can be certain that your I/Os to the hard drives are small and randomly occurred, you can select a small stripe size. If your I/Os are mostly large and come in sequential orders, e.g., A/V playback and editing applications, choose a larger stripe size.
The default value, 64K, should be appropriate for most applications.

Step 2. You should then be prompted by “Data on RAID drives will be erased (Y/N)?”
Step 3. Press Y and then the RAID configuration will be invalidated.
WARNING!
If you delete a RAID configuration, all data previously stored on the member drives of the RAID configuration will be destroyed.
