2. When the Name item is selected, enter a name for the RAID set and press <Enter>.

4. Under Select Disks, press <Enter> and select X for the disks you want to include in the
RAID set.

array (for RAID 0, 10 and 5 only), and then press <Enter>. The available strip size
values range from 4 KB to 128 KB. The following are typical values:

We recommend a lower strip size for server systems, and a higher strip size for multimedia
computer systems used mainly for audio and video editing.

want and press <Enter>. The default value indicates the maximum allowed capacity.
