Since the controller is totally operating system independent, the
operating system of the host computer will not be able to find out whether
the attached devices are physical hard drives or virtual system drives
created by the RAID controller.
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 3102RS RAID Box is
capable of grouping connected drives to as many as
8 logical drives, each configured on the same or
different RAID levels. A logical drive can be further
divided into a maximum of 8 "Partitions". During
operation, the host sees an unpartitioned logical
drive or a partition of a partitioned logical drive as
one single physical drive.
