Hi,
This mean you may add one or more "Virtual Pattern" storage to RAID. You may create such storage via menu "Open" -> "Virtual Pattern" storage
Set size, name and pattern. It may be added to any RAID for further processing.
It may be useful for some scenarios with missing drives. I.e. if you have RAID 0 with one missing drive and you need to get at least something with report of bad files.
