22.2.2 Configure Volume
Select the RAID volume name, RAID level, and strip size and then click ‘Next’:
RAID Volume Name:
A desired RAID volume name needs to be typed in where the ‘RAID_Volume1’ text currently
appears above. The RAID volume name has a maximum limit of 16 characters. The RAID
volume name must also be in English alphanumeric ASCII characters.
Strip Sizes:
Select the desired strip size setting. As indicated, the optimal setting is 128KB. Selecting any
other option may result in performance degradation. Even though 128KB is the recommended
setting for most users, you should choose the strip size value which is best suited to your specific
RAID usage model. Additional details on the three most typical strip size settings are listed in
Section 22.2.3 titled ‘Strip Size Descriptions’.
