Device Type

set the disk type, Fibre Channel (FC),Nearline (NL), or Solid State

(SSD).

Device Speed

set the speed of the disk in K RPM.

Note: The Device Speed number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives

without spinning media (SSD). It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance
difference between the drive and the other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the

number corresponds to both a performance measure and actual rotational speed. For an
SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative performance benchmark that takes into

account in I/O per second, bandwidth, and the access time.

RAID Type

set the VV's RAID type.

Set Size

set the VV's set size.
