This property is used to pass a value to the align parameter of the create partition primary command in the DiskPart command. The align parameter is typically used with hardware RAID Logical Unit Number (LUN) arrays to improve performance when the logical units (LUs) are not cylinder aligned. The align parameter aligns a primary partition that is not cylinder aligned at the beginning of a disk and rounds the offset to the closest alignment boundary. For more information on the align parameter, see Create partition primary.

Note   This property can be used in conjunction with the OSDDiskOffset property to set the offset parameter for the create partition primary command in the DiskPart command. For more information, see the OSDDiskOffset property.
