Quick Setup
NOTE:
A "Logical Drive" is a set of drives grouped together to operate under a
given RAID level and appears as a single contiguous drive. The ASUS
PCI-DA2200 is capable of grouping connected drives into 8 logical
drives, each operating on the same or different RAID levels. The logical
drive can be further divided into a maximum of 8 "Partitions". During
operation, the host sees the logical drive or partition as one single drive.
