RAID 60 can support up to eight spans and tolerate up to 16 drive failures, though less
than total drive capacity is available. Two drive failures can be tolerated in each RAID 6
level drive group.
RAID 60 is appropriate when used with data that requires high reliability, high request
rates, high data transfer, and medium-to-large capacity.

dialog appears. You use this dialog to select drives to create drive groups.
