Select destination disks

The next wizard page will prompt you to choose the disks, whose space will be used for the volume creation.

To create a basic volume:

  • Select a destination disk and specify the unallocated space to create the basic volume on.

To create a Simple/Spanned volume:

  • Select one or more destination disks to create the volume on.

To create a Mirrored volume:

  • Select two destination disks to create the volume on.

To create a Striped volume:

  • Select two or more destination disks to create the volume on.

To create a RAID-5 volume:

  • Select three destination disks to create the volume on.

After you choose the disks, the wizard will calculate the maximum size of the resulting volume, depending on the size of the unallocated space on the disks you chose and the requirements of the volume type you have previously decided upon.

If you are creating a dynamic volume and select one or several basic disks, as its destination, you will receive a warning that the selected disk will be converted to dynamic automatically.

If need be, you will be prompted to add the necessary number of disks to your selection, according to the chosen type of the future volume.

If you click the Back button, you will be returned to the previous page: Select the type of volume being created.

If you click the Next button, you will proceed to the next page: Set the volume size.
