RocketRAID 2322 BIOS Utility

Generally, single disks are designated to act as spares (disks that are not configured
into RAID arrays).

However, in some instances, disks that are members of RAID arrays may also be
designated to act as a spare. If the disks in question are part of a RAID array that did
not utilize the full available capacity at the time of creation, these disks may be used
as spares.

For example: a RAID 0 array was created between two 200GB hard disks, but only
200GB of space (out of a grand total of 400GB), was assigned to that array. In this
example, 200GB of disk space remains unallocated. This unallocated space would
allow these disks to be set as spares for a separate redundant array that falls into the

same capacity range (200GB).
