Select JBOD Drives

The prompt "Data on RAID Drives will be deleted (Y/N)?" appears after two drives are properly assigned.
Press Y, and then some necessary information will be written to the drives, which will destroy the original
data in the drives. 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. After the RAID
array has been created successfully, its information shows up at RAID Array List.

Make sure the data in drives is no longer in use before creating JBOD.
