logical drive and it will not report the drive to the system BIOS.
When user selects to create a RAID set, spare drive, or JBOD, he or she has to select size for the set or drive. BIOS will set a
default size for it and user can use the and keys to change the size. If the physical drive has never been used to create a
set or drive by the BIOS before, the full size of the physical drive will be set as default size. Otherwise, BIOS will set default
size to the size it saved in the reserved area of the physical drive before.
If the user wants to increase the default size, BIOS will display a warning message in the help window and for user’s response
before changing the default size.
