Be aware that there are several limitations when creating an IS (RAID 0) volume:
• All disks must be either SATA (with extended command set support) or SAS (with
SMART support).
• Disks must have 512-byte blocks and must not have removable media.
• There must be at least two and no more than ten drives in a valid IS volume. Hot
spare drives are not allowed.
