44 Configuring RAID in a Dell workstation | 1.0
6.1.1 Creating a RAID10 Volume
RAID10 is a spanned volume and so it requires additional steps to create a RAID10 compared to other
volumes. The additional steps are shown below for an example of creating a RAID 10 volume from 4x 500GB
drives.
Choosing a RAID Level: Choose RAID10 from select RAID level option.
Select Spans: As RAID10 is a spanned virtual drive, we need to add multiple spans. For a 4 drive RAID10,
you need 2 spans of RAID1. Select “Add More Spans” to create two spans.
