Stripe Block: For striped (RAID 0) arrays, you can manually select the stripe block size. Press the
Space bar to scroll through choices from 32 to 128KB. The default is 64KB.

Gigabyte Rounding: The Gigabyte Rounding feature is designed for Mirrored (RAID 1) arrays in which
a drive has failed and the user cannot replace the drive with the same capacity or larger.

In the following procedure, we'll create RAID 0 as an example.

1 . Under the RAID Mode section, press the Spacebar to select 

Stripe

.

2 . Set the Stripe Block size. 64K is the default.
3 . Under the Drive Assignments section, press UP and DOWN ARROW keys to highlight a drive.
4 . Press the Spacebar to change the Assignment option to <Y>.  This action adds the drive to the disk

array. Assign from one or two drives. If you assign only one drive, there will be no performance
benefit. The 

Total Drv

 section will show the number of disks assigned.

5 . Press <Ctrl>+<Y> keys to save the information. The window below will appear.

6 . Press <Y> to create and quick initialize the array or press <N> to create it only.
7 . Press <Esc> if you want to exit the RAID BIOS utility.

Do you want to do quick initialize
or create only? (Yes/No)
Y-Create and Quick Initialize
N-Create Only
