It is recommended to use new drives to create RAID 1. If existing drive is to be used, backup all
necessary data before creating RAID 1.
Next, the Array Name input line appears for the user to key in a name for the newly created array. The
effective characters for an array name is 0-9, A-Z, a-z, space and underscore.
Lastly a prompt message "Duplicate Data from M to m (Y/N)?" asks whether to do drive copy. The source
and target drives are indicated by "M" and "m" in Drive Select Menu respectively. Pressing Y will duplicate
the data in source drive to the target drive. Make sure the source drive is the correct one. If you press N, then
the data is inconsistent in two drives.
