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.
