RAIDXpert supports up to six physical drives for these logical drives. For more

You can set up a Migration to begin immediately (on demand) or schedule a
Migration for a time when there is less demand on the RAID system.

1. Click Logical Drive View in Tree View.
2. Click the Logical Drive you want to migrate.
3. Click the Migration tab in Management View.

level for your logical drive.
5. If your intended action requires additional physical drives, click a Single Disk
(unassigned physical drive) to select it.
