(2) Step 2 of 3: Select the RAID Volume Name and Strip Size
In Step 2, select the RAID volume name and strip size, and click Next:
h RAID Volume Name:
A desired RAID volume name needs to be typed in where the ‘RAID_Volume1’
text currently appears above. The RAID volume name has a maximum limit of
16 characters. The RAID volume name must also be in English alphanumeric
ASCII characters.
h RAID Level:
Select the desired RAID level:
RAID 0 (Performance) – A volume optimized for performance will allow
you to access your data more quickly.
RAID 1 (Redundancy) – A volume optimized for data redundancy will
provide you with a realtime duplicate copy of
your data. Note: Only half of the available vol-
ume space will be available for data storage.
h Strip Sizes:
Select the desired strip size setting. As indicated, the optimal setting is 128KB.
Selecting any other option may result in performance degradation. Even though
128KB is the recommended setting for most users, you should choose the
strip size value which is best suited to your specific RAID usage model. The
most typical strip size settings are:
4KB: For specialized usage models requiring 4KB strips
8KB: For specialized usage models requiring 8KB strips
16KB: Best for sequential transfers
