*You can “clean” a HDD by selecting Secure Erase in SB700 Option ROM to make sure no MBR or MDD data is left on the
HDD before testing.
** Spare Drive can be configured from RAIDXpert. It will write a flag into MDD for driver and Option ROM to recognize it as
Spare Drive.
MBR = Master Book Record
MDD = Meta Data, i.e. previous RAID configuration information
JBOD = Just a bunch of drives
LD = Logical Drive
