Hello acslacker All you need to do is choose RAID 5, select the 3 disks, and accept. It will automatically use all available space. With your 3x1TB HDDs the maximum available space will be approximately 2TB. Some will disappear in the conversion to binary. This is why it is listing as 930GB instead of 1TB. In RAID 5 1 HDD is used for parity, so you will immediately lose 1TB. That space will not be displayed in the usable space. The 1.8TB that it is automatically listing sounds correct. Thanks
Hello everyone, Thanks for taking the time to read my post. My company recently purchased a new Dell T620 server and I'm the one assigned to get it running. Unfortunately, I don't have knowledge setting up a server with RAID5 configuration.  My question is, i'm following the directions from Dell that says to open the Lifecycle Controller, select deploy OS. Where I'm stuck is setting the Virtual Disk. This is my first RAID setup and I'm thinking the VD is what windows uses to read total disk space? We are running 3 - 1TB NLS 6.0gbps 7.2k RPM. I know 1TB HDD shows as 930GB in windows. But for some reason it offers me a virtual disk up to 1800 GB? I think I have to set this to less then 930 gb?  I can give more details if needed. But currently, I am stuck on this part and do not want to proceed unless certain.  Thanks in advance!
