Clearing the Meta Data from a given drive

All of the member drives in an array contain metadata in the first sectors of the drive. The controller uses the metadata to identify array members after restarting or changing controllers.

You can clear the metadata from a drive if you have a drive that was previously a member of an array.  Drives in this state display Leftover in the Display Drives screen.  After you clear the metadata, you can use the drive in an array or as a spare.
