In the Disk eld, press <Enter> key and use <Space> key to select the disks you
want to create for the RAID volume, then click <Enter> key to nish selection. This
eld will become available according to the selected RAID level.
Then select the strip size for the RAID array by using the “upper arrow” or “down
arrow” keys to scroll through the available values, and pressing the <Enter> key
to select and advance to the next eld. The available values range from 4KB to
128 KB in power of 2 increments. The strip size should be chosen based on the
planned drive usage. Here are some typical values:
RAID0 -128KB / RAID10 - 64KB / RAID5 - 64KB. This eld will become available
according to the selected RAID level.
Then select the capacity of the volume in the Capacity eld. The default value is
the maximum volume capacity of the selected disks.

Important
Since you want to create two volumes, this default size (maximum) needs to be
reduced. Type in a new size for the rst volume. As an example: if you want the
rst volume to span the rst half of the two disks, re-type the size to be half of what
is shown by default. The second volume, when created, will automatically span the
remainder of two hard drives.
