7. When the Strip Size item is selected, press <Enter> to select strip size for the RAID
array (for RAID 0, 10 and 5 only), and then press <Enter>. The available strip size
values range from 4 KB to 128 KB. The following are typical values:
- RAID 0: 128 KB
- RAID 10: 64 KB
- RAID 5: 64 KB
We recommend a lower strip size for server systems, and a higher strip size for
multimedia computer systems used mainly for audio and video editing.
8. When the Capacity (GB) item is selected, enter the RAID volume capacity that you
want. The default value indicates the maximum allowed capacity.
9. Select the Create Volume item, then click Yes on the confirmation screen to create
the RAID set.
Creating a RAID volume will delete all data on the selected drives. Ensure to back up the
data on the drives before creating a RAID volume.
10. After the RAID set has been created, you will be directed back to the Intel(R) VROC
SATA Controller menu and the newly created RAID volume should appear under the
RAID Volumes item.
