The Migrating Process
As you can see from the screen shot above, a three disk stripe array has been created and
the migrating process has begun. A pop up window similar to the following will appear:
followed by the following pop up window:
It will take some time before the entire process is completed. The time it takes to convert
an array is dependent on several factors such as the speed of the CPU, the size and type of
hard drive being used, the operating system, etc.
More About This Example
When creating a stripe array using hard drives of different sizes, the stripe array uses the
stripe size of the smallest drive. For example, if you try to create a 3-disk stripe array that
consists of a 10 GB, 20 GB and 40 GB hard drive, the resulting 3-disk stripe array will have
a capacity of 30 GB (since 10 GB x 3 = 30 GB).
