About spanned volumes

After you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk, you can create spanned volumes.

See About spanned volumes.

Before you create spanned volumes, consider the following:

  • You can create spanned volumes on dynamic disks only.

  • You need at least two dynamic disks to create a spanned volume.

  • You can extend a spanned volume onto a maximum of 32 dynamic disks.

  • You cannot mirror or stripe a spanned volume.

  • Spanned volumes are not fault tolerant.
