Arrays
Array nodes include both RAID arrays and non-RAID disk groups (indicated by the different icons for RAID arrays and
non-RAID disks). By default, a non-RAID disk group is created when a controller is created. If the controller
configuration specifies the number of disks required, then the same number of disks are added to the non-RAID group.
• Arrays are added, modified or deleted depending on the controller configuration and number of disks available.
• Array elements contain logical drives and physical disks.

Logical Drives (also known as Virtual Disks)
Logical drives are present on RAID arrays and non-RAID groups. You can configure them by specifying the size (in GB)
or to consume all available (or remaining) space in the array. By default, a single logical drive is created for all new
arrays and is set to use all the available space.
When specific-size logical drives are defined, the using all remaining space logical drive will consume any remaining
space after other logical drive(s) are allocated their space on the array.
NOTE: Array Builder does not support creating logical drives under Non-RAID groups.
