# Selecting the logical drive size

When you select the logical drive size, consider the following:

- If you change the RAID level of a logical drive, the total size (data plus parity) of the logical drive might change.

- If you do not use all available free space, you can create another logical drive. Click Create new logical drive to do so. You can assign the same or a different RAID level to additional logical drives.

- You cannot delete the last remaining logical drive in the array. You must have at least one logical drive for each array.

- Refer to the documentation provided with your operating system for information about the recommended logical-drive size.

- The default RAID configuration uses all available free space.
