Page 10 highlights

BIG MODE (Spanning): The BIG storage policy concatenates a series of physical hard drives as a single large volume; resulting in a seamless expansion of virtual volumes beyond the physical limitations of singularly connected hard drives. BIG storage policy delivers maximum storage space without a single large capacity and costly hard drive. Hard drive A and B are concatenated into a single virtual volume in the Figure below with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of each of the physical hard drives A and B.
