11.1 LARGE mode (Spanning)
Function :
The LARGE mode concatenates a series of physical hard drives into a single
large volume, creating a seamless expansion of virtual volumes beyond the
physical limitations of singularly connected hard drives.
Notes :
The hard drives 1 to 8 are concatenated into a single virtual volume in the Figure
above with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of each of the physical
hard drives 1 to 8. It is also possible to create a LARGE volume using only a
single hard disk drive connected to Port 1. However, it is not possible to expand
an existing LARGE volume by adding another hard disk drive and still preserve
any existing data on that volume.
