RAID 30 requires at least 6 physical drives,
RAID 50 requires at least 6 physical drives,
RAID 60 requires at least 8 physical drives,
RAID 30+ Spare requires at least 7 physical drives, and

Using the UP/DOWN key to select the RAID for the volume set
and presses
ENT to confirm it.
Using UP/DOWN buttons to create the c
urrent volume set capacity size and
press ENT
to confirm it. The available stripe sizes for the current volume set are
displayed.
Using UP/DOWN
buttons to select the current volume set stripe size and press
ENT key to confirm
it. This parameter specifies the size of the stripes written to
each disk in a RAID 0, 1, 10(1E), or 5 volume set. You can set the stripe size to
4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB. A larger stripe size provides
better-read performance, especially
if your computer does mostly sequential
reads. However, if you are sure that your computer does random read requests
more often, choose a small stripe size.
When you are finished defining the volume set, press ENT to confirm t
he
“Quick Volume And Raid Set Setup” function.
Press ENT
to define “FGrnd Init (Foreground initialization)” or press ESC to
define “BGrnd Init (Background initialization)“. When “FGrnd Init", the
initialization proceeds must
be completed before the volume set ready for
system accesses. When “BGrnd Init", the initialization proceeds as a
background task, the volume set is fully accessible for system reads and writes.
The operating system can instantly access to the newly create
d arrays without
requiring a reboot and waiting the initialization complete.
The controller will begin to Initialize the volume set you have just configured.
