    Hello guys. I wanted to ask you about spanned volumes. Is it safe to use? Or i'll lose my files somehow? I have 2 SSD's as a Span Volume on my system. Should I keep it, or should I separate them?

    Thanks in advance, Michail.

    Combine HDD into one? {alternative to spanned volume}

    I believe both drives need to be setup as dynamic to allow for a spanned volume to be configured across both of them. Here's some links on some info for spanned volumes and the other types that Disk Management in Windows can do for you.

    Combine HDD into one? {alternative to spanned volume}

    Can someone answer if one can combine two totally different hard drives into one by using spanned volume feature? Like combining a Seagate 320 GB 7200 RPM HDD with Toshiba 500 GB 5400 RPM HDD?

    Spanned Volumes

    Simple/spanned volume

    Hi,
    I have two physical drives in my PC -SSD (using it as bootable drive and old HDD (for storing files). On the second drive which is the HDD there were 3 partitions - system reserved, C drive and D (use it for files). Since the operating system is starting from the SSD i decided to delete System reserved and C drive and extend the D partition. Now in Acronis disk director there are 3 partitions combined in one and it shows simple/spanned on the 3 of them and the only option is to delete the volume. Is there a problem?
    Thanks!
