With only one hard disk installed, just click Next. If you have two hard disks installed choose one of the following:

RAID 1: Use this to mirror all data on one disk to the other disk to protect against data loss.

Individual Disks: Use this if you want maximum storage capacity and/or you have other means of protecting your data. This creates two JBOD volumes (with one disk in each), a failure of one disk (volume) should not affect the other volume (disk).
