Striping block size is given in kilobytes, and affects how data is arranged on
the disk. It is recommended to leave this value at the default Optimal, which
is 32KB, but the values can be between 4 KB and 128 KB.
• Assigning the Disks
The disks that you enabled from the RAID Config BIOS setup page appear
in the Free Disks block. These are the drives that are available for use as
RAID array disks.
