Choosing the RAID disks and Spare disks

Once RAID 1 or RAID 5 is chosen a new menu with two lists will be displayed. Each list shows the hard drives located in the system and their available free space.

Two drives must be chosen from the RAID list as the main RAID partitions for a RAID 1 array and at least three drives if this is a RAID 5 array. There is no limit to the number of spare disks.
