The only reservation I have now, after reading the links you gave, is that if one of the drives (within the larger spanned drive) fails, then you risk losing all the data - a significant consideration !
Therefore, bearing this in mind, the spanned drive would need to be backed-up frequently to mitigate against such data loss occurring ...
Many thanks again - much appreciated.
[member=458]m654321[/member] you are right, it is an important consideration when making the decision as to how many to span and how many to use as single backups of specific data as [member=296]justme2[/member] writes.
Possibly if there is a drive health tool, like defraggler for Linux, they could be checked, benchmarked and regularly as part of maintenance routine.
