Create CacheCade Virtual Disk
NOTE: Only SSDs can be used to create CacheCade virtual disks.
NOTE: Combining SAS and SATA SSDs within a CacheCade virtual disk is not
supported.
NOTE: To avoid inefficient use of space, it is recommended that CacheCade
volumes are created with drives of the same size. Larger disk sizes are truncated to
the size of the smallest contributing disk, similar to RAID 0.
