As a rule of thumb, select 8 GB geometry if the following three cases apply:
1. You have a system (RAID) drive that is greater than 2.145 GB in
capacity.
2. The DOS/Windows compatible partitions could be located in an area
above the first 2.145 GB.
Otherwise the 2 GB option is fine.
☛
Note
In the event that the RAID controller needs to be
replaced, the current drive geometry will be restored
from the configuration on disk (COD).
