Chapter 5: RAID configuration

For server systems, we recommend using a lower array block size. For

multimedia computer systems used mainly for audio and video editing,

we recommend a higher array block size for optimum performance.

4. Use the up or down arrow keys to select the stripe block size

appropriate to your drive usage, then press .

The available stripe size values range from 8KB to 128KB. The default

stripe size is Optimal. You must choose the stripe size value based on

the projected drive usage. For low disk usage, select 8KB/16KB. For

typical disk usage, select 64KB. Select 128KB for performance disk

usage.

5. Press to move to the Free Disks section.
6. Highlight the hard disk drives that you want to add in the RAID set,

then press the right arrow key to select. The selected hard disk drives

appear in the Array Disks section. Repeat the process until all desired

hard disk drives are added. RAID 5 requires three to six hard disk

drives.
