HDD configuration and format the HDD's. There are 4 available HDD configuration options:
• Standard
: Each drive is an unique volume.
• JBOD
: Combines both drives in a linear fashion to create 1 volume.
• RAID 0
: Provides data striping (Maximum performance).
• RAID 1
: Provides data mirroring over both disks (Maximum backup security).

A message to confirm the re-format of the HDD's will be shown. Click "OK" to proceed.
