If this RAID volume is meant to be the Master RAID volume, tick the Master RAID checkbox.4.
In a multiple RAID conguration, one RAID volume must be designated
as the Master RAID volume. The Master RAID volume will store all
installed modules. If the Master RAID is changed to another location
(i.e. assigning volume 2 to be the Master RAID volume after volume 1
had been previously assigned), then all modules must be reinstalled.
In addition, all system folders that were contained on the Master RAID
volume will be invisible. Reassigning this volume to be the Master RAID
will make these folders visible again.

an external writable USB disk plugged into any USB port on the system is required to save
the password you have entered while the RAID volume is being created. See the screenshot
below for details.
Once the Create button has been pressed with the Encryption checkbox enabled, the following
message pop-up will appear for confirmation.
After the RAID volume has been created, you may remove the USB disk until the next time the
system boots. The RAID volume cannot be mounted if the USB disk with the encryption key isn’t
found in any system USB port when the volume is accessed. To activate the encrypted volume, plug
the USB disk containing the encryption key and into any system USB port.
We strongly recommended copying the RAID volume encryption key to a safe place. You can find
the encryption key file from the USB disk in the following format:
(RAID volume created date)_xxxxxx.key
