The Device Information window displays the following
information:
RAID drives display the name and level of the array to which they
belong and the stripe size for the array.
Various buttons are available depending on device type. Hard
drives have Event Log and I/O Stats buttons. Hard drives that are
not members of a RAID have Make Hotspare, Configure, and
Format buttons. Print is always available.
Hard drives that are members of arrays display a Fail Drive button.
If the drive is a hot spare, the Remove Hotspare button replaces the
Make Hotspare button.

Revision The drive firmware revision.
Address The logical address of the device.
Capacity Storage capacity of the device in MB. For
removable-media devices, capacity is reported for
the currently inserted media.
Sectors Total number of sectors on the drive. SCSI devices
may refer to sectors as blocks in some other
reference material.

report otherwise; if so, low-level format the drive as
described in Formatting Drives.
Removable Indicates that the drive uses removable media.
Transfer Transfer rate.

controller. General status conditions (other than
Optimal) are indicated by flags on the device icon.
