Areca ARC-1110 User Manual

volume sets will reside on all physical disks in the RAID set. Thus 

each volume set on the RAID set will have its data spread evenly 

across all the disks in the RAID set rather than one volume set 

using some of the available disks and another volume set using 

other disks. 

1. Volume sets of different RAID levels may coexist on the same 

raid set.

2. Up to 16 volume sets in a  RAID set can be created by the 

SATA RAID  controller.

3. The maximum addressable size of a single volume set is not 

limited to 2 TB as with other cards that support only 32-bit 

mode.

To create a volume set, follow the following steps:

1. Select the “Volume Set Function” from the Main menu.

2. Choose the “Create Volume Set” from “Volume Set Functions” 

dialog box screen.

3. The “Create Volume From RAID Set” dialog box appears. This 

screen displays the existing arranged RAID sets. Select the RAID 

set number and press the Enter key. The “Volume Creation” 

dialogue is displayed in the screen. 

4. A window with a summary of the current volume set’s set-

tings. The “Volume Creation” option allows user to select the 

volume name, capacity, RAID level, strip size, Disk Info, Cache 

mode and tag queuing. The user can modify the default val-

ues in this screen; the modification procedures are in section 

3.5.3.3.
