supports the configurations below: 

RAID 0 (Stripping)

: Two hard drives operating as one drive for optimized data R/W 

performance. It needs two unused drives to build this operation. 

RAID 1 (Mirroring)

: Copies the data from first drive to second drive for data security, and if 

one drive fails, the system would access the applications to the workable drive. It needs two 

unused drives or one used and one unused drive to build this operation. The second drive 

must be the same or lager size than first one.
