<h1>Selecting the logical device size</h1>
<p>When you select the logical device size, consider the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li> If you change the RAID level of a logical device, the total size (data plus
    parity) of the logical device might change.
    <p></p>
    <p></p>
  <li> If you do not use all available free space, you can create another logical
    drive. Click <b>Create new logical device</b> to do so. You can assign the
    same or a different RAID level to additional logical devices.
    <p></p>
    <p></p>
  <li>The default RAID configuration uses all available free space.
   <p></p>
    <p></p>
  <li>Refer to the documentation provided with your operating system for information
    about the recommended logical-drive size.
</ul>
