Optimize Array For

Select Performance (RAID 0) or Security (RAID 1) under the “Optimize Array for” setting.

Performance (RAID 0 Striping)

This option provides maximum performance. The storage capacity equals the number of

drives times the capacity of the smallest drive in the disk array.

NOTE: Striped arrays can use 1 or 2 drives that were created in Auto Setup.

Security (RAID 1 Mirroring)

This option creates a mirrored (or fault tolerant) array for data security.

NOTE: Under the Security setting, two drives can be used for a single Mirrored array.
