Ex.: If Physical Devices #1 - #7 can be used for Easy Configuration and two Logical Drives are created, Logical
Drives #1 and #2 are created with four Physical Devices #1 - #4 and three Physical Devices #5 - #7,
respectively.
Figure 16 Assigning Physical Devices in Easy Configuration 2
Physical Devices in which S.M.A.R.T. errors are detected cannot be used to create Logical
Drives.
Capacity of Logical Drive
The capacity of a Logical Drive to be created is defined by the RAID Level and the capacities of Physical
Devices used for the Logical Drive.
The Easy Configuration uses the entire areas of the Physical Devices to create a Logical Drive.
When a single Logical Drive is created by using Physical Devices of different capacities, the smallest capacity
is applied among those of the Physical Devices.
Ex.: If Physical Devices #1 - #7 of different capacities can be used in Easy Configuration to create two Logical
Drives, use Physical Devices #1 - #4 and #5 - #7 to create Logical Drives #1 and #2, respectively. The
capacity of each Logical Drive is defined by the smallest capacity among those of the Physical Devices for
the Logical Drive.

Only 50GB is used in
each Physical Device
(#3 and #4) because
the smallest capacity is
50GB (remaining
capacities 100GB and
50GB are not used in #3
and #4, respectively).
Only 100GB can be
used in Physical
Device #7 because
the smallest capacity
is 100GB in the
Physical Devices.
(Remaining 50GB is
not used.)
