Since the dropdown is at the top, they may feel they need to select a level from the dropdown which could be confusing for them; having the checkboxes allows the user to select the features they want, not having to worry about which RAID level means what. We are more concerned with users who do not know the specific RAID levels because there are more users familiar with the features rather than the specific RAID levels. We have the different radio buttons for the few users that want to select the specific RAID level.

Here's another idea:

Put the raid radio buttons into a group on the right. That removes the
need to tell them what raid level they have selected and lets them use
either one without having to click to the other 'view'.
