Spanning

In a Spanning array, the disk array capacity is equal to the sum of all drives, even if the drives are of different capacities. Spanning stores data onto a drive until it is completely filled, then proceeds to store data on to the next drive in the array . There are no performance or fault tolerance array features in this type of array. When a disk member fails, the entire array is offline.
