• SpeedRead, Auto-Rebuild and Rebuild
Priority: refer to Change RAID group
properties on page 23 for specific
information on these parameters.
• Sector Size: specifies the sector size that
each partition (virtual disk) within the RAID
group presents to the host system. The
sector size can be set to 512 bytes (default)
or 4096 bytes. This parameter can only be
set during RAID group creation. The
available size is determined by the sector
sizes of the physical disks selected for the
RAID group. If the sector size for the
physical disks is 512 bytes, then either 512
or 4096 is valid. If the sector size of the
physical disks is 4096 bytes, then 4096 is the
only valid value for this property.
The selection of a sector size of 4096 bytes
provides the capability to create a 16TB
virtual disk that is supported on Windows XP
32-bit version.

is initialized and completed. The time it takes to
initialize the RAID configuration you have
chosen depends on the RAID level selected,
the capacity of the drives and the initialization
method selected.
