The Adaptec Storage Manager supports the following RAID volume types:
Simple Volume - a single disk drive or segment;
not redundant.
HostRAID controllers support Simple volumes only.
Spanned Volume - two or more disk drives or segments
with the same or different capacity, connected end-to-end. A spanned volume
offers no redundancy or performance advantage over a single drive.
RAID Volume - two or more logical devices with the same
RAID level, connected end-to-end. The logical devices may have the same or
different capacity and are notstriped
together; they may be redundant, depending on the RAID level.
Note: You must
create the individual logical devices before you create a RAID Volume. Use
the Configuration wizard to create the logical devices; then, run the Configuration
wizard again to create the RAID Volume.
