Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility (ARC)
3 Enter the desired array size.
The maximum array size available based on the partitions you
selected is displayed automatically. If you want to designate a
different array size, type the desired array size and select MB
(megabytes), GB (gigabytes), or TB (terabytes) from the drop-
down list. If the available space from the selected partitions is
greater than the size you specify, the remaining space is
available for use in other arrays.
4 Select the desired stripe size.
The allowable stripe sizes are 16, 32, and 64 KB (the default).
The default stripe size provides the best overall performance in
most network environments.
5 Specify whether you want to enable read and write caching for
the array.
Caution: When caching is Enabled, there is a potential for
data loss or corruption during a power failure.
Caching should usually be enabled to optimize performance,
unless your data is highly sensitive, or unless your application
performs completely random reads, which is unlikely.
6 When you are finished, select Done.
The array build starts.
