This is how it works. Suppose you have connected two, or three hard drives to your PC. Now each of these hard drives has 10 GB of space. You can pool this 10 GB of all three hard drives in one single virtual drive, for example the D drive. Now you get to have 30 GB of space in D drive. Moreover, if you still run short of space, you can plug another hard drive into your PC and shift some of it’s space to D drive, dynamically, without losing any data! In this way, Storage Spaces makes your computer drives flexible storage places which you can increase or decrease in size by pooling resources from many different devices.
This techniques makes use of ‘pools’ which is basically the collection of storage capacities of different devices into one. These pools are then divided into ‘spaces’ when you take a chunk out of the pool to make a drive. It works quite like RAID arrays except that the technique of Storage Space is much more flexible and more user-friendly and useful. There are a number of hardware and software solution which currently lets you create and alter the size of your drive dynamically: some examples are LVM, ZFS and Drobo.
