Name
Enter a name for the Virtual Disk.
RG Name
Choose the RAID Group to which the Virtual Disk will be added.
Capacity
Enter the capacity of the Virtual Disk. The default uses the maximum capacity of the associated
RAID Group. If you wish to create multiple Virtual Disks on the selected RAID Group, you will
need to reduce the capacity below the maximum so that there is space left on the RAID Group for
additional Virtual Disks.
Stripe height (KB)
Determines how RTX organizes the RAID. Normally the default option is preferred.
Block size
Determines the minimum file size for files that will be stored on the Virtual Disk. Higher block
sizes can result in more wasted space if many small files are saved to the drive, but are
necessary to take advantage of high capacity RAIDs. If you are creating a Virtual Disk over
2TB in size for use with MacOS 10.4.x or older, or for use with Windows XP, you must
increase the block size to 4096KB to take advantage of the full capacity of the Virtual Disk.
Read/Write
Allows selection of cache type. Normally the default option is preferred.
Priority
Determines the priority that RTX will give to RAID activities (rebuild and initialization) versus
priority given to file transfers. “High priority” will result in slower file transfers during initialization,
but provide for faster initialization.
BG Rate
Background Task Priority. The higher the number, the more priority will be given to background
input/output.
