is displayed in the selected capacity. The capacity value can be
increased or decreased by the UP and DOWN arrow keys. The
capacity of each volume set must be less than or equal to the
total capacity of the RAID set on which it resides. If the volume
set uses only part of the RAID set capacity, you can use the “Cre-
ate Volume Set” option in the main menu to dene additional
volume sets.
Stripe Size This parameter sets the size of the stripe written to
each disk in a RAID 0 or 1 logical drive. You can set the stripe
size to 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB.
A larger stripe size produces better-read performance, especially
if your computer does mostly sequential reads. However, if you
are certain that your computer performs random reads more of-
ten, select a smaller stripe size.
Press the Yes option in the “Create Vol/Raid” Set dialog box, the
RAID set and volume set will start to initialize it.
Select “Foreground Initialization”, “No Initialization” or "No Init
(To Rescue Volume)" for initialization.
