9 Click Finish and the following screen shot will appear:

Figure 3.48 RAID 5 Array Created

As you can see from the above screen shot a RAID 5 array with 3 SATA disks has been
created, while the other one disk is allocated as a Free Disk. Similarly, to create an array
with four or more disks, simply make sure to add the number of disks that you want to
use in the array during creation.

You can also “extend” the size of an existing RAID 5 array but that requires that you
use migrating— the ability to convert from one RAID array to another as described in

“Migrating From One RAID Array to Another” on page 69
