Flex-RAID
Flex-RAID technology utilizes the industry-standard RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6. To 
reconfigure the default Flex-RAID Volume C, split it into multiple volumes, specify a different 
RAID level, or specify a larger reserved space for snapshots, and reconfigure your volume. 
See 
Flex-RAID advantages include:
•     
The default volume can be deleted and re-created, with or without snapshot reserved 
space.
•     
Hot spare disk is supported.
•     
Volume expansion without data loss is supported.
•     
Full volume management is available. You can create RAID level 0, 1, 5, or 6 
volumes, specify the volume size, delete a disk from a volume, assign a hot spare, 
and so on.
•     
Multiple volumes are supported, each with a different RAID level, snapshot schedule, 
and disk quota definition.
•     
Each disk can be replaced, one by one, then rebuilt; after the last disk is replaced, 
another data volume using the newly added capacity can be configured.
