"Additional configuration" seems like a weird verbage to use here and especially having it where it's placed. The way we add additional disks now at least seems to me a little more obvious, although it needs some different wording if we're putting any sort of filtering there > 3.

Having the individual disks then show up has been a way that people have gotten into trouble in the past, especially if they're dual-booting > 4. I don't know where to put the encrypt checkbox.

We've gone back and forth on this one over time... I'm willing to give the other way a try. The other general comment I have is that the bootable radio button is likely to be obscured / way off to the far right in the treeview. Plus having a checkbox and a radio button in the same row is at least a little odd.
