Notes:
1.Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data contained on the new drive. Otherwise, all data will be lost.
2.If you stop the Build or Clear process on a RAID 1 from ACU, you can restart it by pressing Ctrl+R.
3.A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init option may return some data miscompares if you later run a consistency check. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.
