107 Logical drive parameters For the logical drive you can change the RAID level and stripe size. The table below contains descriptions of the logical drive parameters. Parameter Description RAID level Stripe size The number of physical drives in a specific array determines the RAID levels that can be implemented with the array. RAID 0 requires one or two physical drives. RAID 1 requires exactly two physical drives. The stripe size parameter specifies the size of the segment written to each disk in a RAID configuration. You can set the stripe size to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 Kbytes. The default is 64 Kbytes. A larger stripe size produces higher read performance. If your computer regularly performs random read requests, choose a smaller stripe size. Easy configuration In Easy Configuration, the CU associates each hard drive with a single logical drive. If logical drives have already been configured, the CU does not change their configuration. Perform the following steps to create arrays using Easy Configuration: 1 Select Configuration→ Easy Configuration at the main menu.
