In the Disk eld, press <Enter> key and use <Space> key to select the disks you

want to create for the RAID volume, then click <Enter> key to nish selection. This

eld will become available according to the selected RAID level.

Then select the strip size for the RAID array by using the “upper arrow” or “down

arrow” keys to scroll through the available values, and pressing the <Enter> key

to select and advance to the next eld. The available values range from 4KB to

128 KB in power of 2 increments. The strip size should be chosen based on the

planned drive usage. Here are some typical values:

RAID0 -128KB / RAID10 - 64KB / RAID5 - 64KB. This eld will become available

according to the selected RAID level.

Then select the capacity of the volume in the Capacity eld. The default value is

Important

Since you want to create two volumes, this default size (maximum) needs to be

reduced. Type in a new size for the rst volume. As an example: if you want the

rst volume to span the rst half of the two disks, re-type the size to be half of what

is shown by default. The second volume, when created, will automatically span the

remainder of two hard drives.
