Creating a Disk Array – Automatic
Disk Status
The Disk Array Automatic Creation option enables you to create a new disk array
following a default set of parameters. One logical drive will be made automatically
when you create the disk array.
If you have multiple enclosures, a separate disk array and logical drive set will be
created for each enclosure.
If you have both Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Drives (SSD), separate
disk array and logical drive sets will be created for your HDDs and for your SSDs.
These two drive types cannot be mixed in the same disk array.
