See Stripe Size on page 2-11. (RAID 5 only) Shows the method used to created the array. Some controllers let you change the RAID 5 creation method. When you create a RAID 5 set, Storage Manager Pro uses the Verify method by default when it creates the array. The Verify method reads all the data on the drives in the array and resets the parity (redundancy) of the existing data sequentially from the beginning of the array to the end. The array is available to users during the Verify process. Enables or disables write cache.
