such as audio, video, and graphics. A smaller stripe size is better for applications

with content in much smaller size, such as e-mails and documents.

Configuration options: [32K] [64K]

virtual disk, Gigabyte Rounding allows the replacement physical disk to be of a

size slightly smaller than the existing physical disk. The capacity of the rebuilt

virtual disk equals to the size of the smaller physical disk included in the RAID 1

array. The configuration options represent the tolerance value of drive capacity

difference.
