automatically rebuild Redundant RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 10) in the case of disk failure. As with creating RAID arrays,
disks must be initialized before they can be used as spares. To set a hard disk to act as a Spare Disk, use the arrow
keys to select the target disk from the list of initialized disks, and press the Enter key. To remove the Spare Disk
setting from a hard disk, highlight the spare disk, and press the Enter key. Generally, single disks are designated to
act as spares (disks that are not configured into RAID arrays). However, in some instances, disks that are members
of RAID arrays may also be designated to act as a spare. If the disks in question are part of a RAID array that did not
utilize the full available capacity at the time of creation, these disks may be used as spares.
