Volume Creation Wizard The Volume Creation Wizard provides a smarter policy to determine all possibilities and volume sizes in the different RAID levels that can be created using the existing free drives. It provides: Largest capacity for each RAID level from which to choose. The fewest number of drives for each RAID level / volume size. This way, after choosing a RAID level, you may find that some drives are still available (free status). This phenomenon is the result of using smart design. For example, a user chooses the RAID 5 level and the system has 12*200GB + 4*80GB free drives inserted. Generally, if using all 16 drives for a RAID 5 group, the maximum size of volume is (16-1)*80GB = 1200GB. This wizard provides a smarter check and searches the most efficient way of using free drives. It uses 200GB drives only to provide (12-1)*200GB = 2200GB capacity, as a result the volume size is larger using less drives. 1. Click Volume Creation Wizard from the menu bar. 2. Choose a RAID Level. The number in the brackets is the maximum capacity at the RAID level. Copyright@2014 D-Link System, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 40
