Channel: ID

This field shows the SuperTrak66 controller channel ID (1-4) to which a particular drive is attached.

Drive Model

This field identifies the manufacturer, model, and model number (if applicable) of each drive installed on the SuperTrak66 card.

Capacity (MB)

This field reflects the capacity in MB (megabytes) of each drive.

Assignment

This field identifies the array to which each drive belongs. Assigned drives are labeled with their disk array (1,2,3, etc...). Unassigned drives are labeled “free,” and are considered "hot spares" to provide fault tolerance. Unassigned drives may also be used to create a new array at any time.
