order. After all of the disks have been selected and press the ESC key to return to
the Create Menu.
5. Next, Use the ↓ arrow key to highlight the Capacity (GB) option and press Enter.
The total available capacity will be displayed. Press ENTER if you wish to use all
available space. If you wish to reserve disk space for additional arrays/single disks,
use the keyboard to input the amount of space (in GB) you wish to set aside for this
particular array, and press Enter.
Note: Multiple arrays can be created using the same set of hard disk drives. The Capacity
option allows you to set aside disk space that be used to create another array, set as a
spare disk, or partitioned to act as a single disk (by the operating system).
6. For redundant RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 10), select the Cache Policy:
Write Back – utilizes disk cache (higher performing)
Write Through – writes directly to the disks (may reduce the risk of data loss during a
critical failure, but at the cost of lower performance).
7. Sector Size – Also known as “Variable Sector Size”. Use this option if you are
using an older 32-bit Windows operating system. This allows older operating
systems to support volumes over 2TB in size. Do not use if the operating system
already supports large volumes (such as GPT).
8. To complete the creation procedure, use the arrow key to highlight the Start
Creation item and press Enter. Press the Y (yes) key to create the array, or N (no)
key to cancel the creation process.
