Strip size Selects the strip element size for the logical drive. Drive striping involves
partitioning each drive storage space into strips of different sizes that the
controller firmware supports.
Read cache policy Selects the read cache policy for the logical drive. The read cache policy of a
logical drive determines how the controller handles reads to that logical
drive. Possible settings are:
No read ahead - Specifies that the controller does not use read ahead for
the current logical drive.
Read ahead - Allows the controller to read sequentially ahead of
requested data and store the additional data in cache memory,
anticipating that the data is required soon.
