Integrated Striping Description
On Integrated Striping volumes, the firmware writes data across multiple disks instead of
onto one disk by partitioning each disk’s storage space into 64-KB stripes. The firmware
interleaves the stripes in such a way that the combined storage space consists alternately
of stripes from each disk.
The following figure shows an example of Integrated Striping. In this example, the
firmware writes segment 1 to disk 1, segment 2 to disk 2, segment 3 to disk 3, and so on.
When the firmware reaches the end of the disk list, it continues writing data at the next
available segment of disk 1.

volume with three disks.
