What is spanned volume?
Rating:
A spanned volume is made up of disk space on more than one physical disk. It is used to combine free space on different hard disk drives installed in a computer in order to create a large logical volume. It can be created on dynamic disks only. It supports two to thirty-two disk drives. A spanned volume is not fault tolerant and cannot be mirrored or striped. In Windows 2000/2003, users can combine SCSI and IDE hard disk drives by using a spanned volume.
