Im looking for a reason why a person would use a Spanned volume rather than a Striped volume?

For this test I didn't worry about what drives I was using as I was going for the stripe vs span comparison and I figured the important thing was to keep the testing parameters the same. I am sure many newer model drives would outperform the ones I used, if for no other reason than they have higher areal densities today.

However, striping writes files across all disks so that data is added to all disks at the same rate. I certainly dont like simultaneous filling up of HDD So no striped volume What is the best option???
Simple,Spanned or mirrored. I hv no idea what mirrored is So which one is the best??? I do not want simultaneous filling of HDDs Sep 15, 0 18, You don't want either of those because your drives aren't the same size. I don't see any real benefit to this so I wouldn't recommend it.
Your best bet is 'Simple'. This will assign a new drive letter to your new disk and each drive will work independently of the other. Each disk will work independently at its own maximum speed. Your old GB Caviar Blue will work as fast as it always did. Best answer selected by razor Is this setup good??? Primary means it can be used as a boot drive Now i have 4 primary partition and 5 logical partition.. Is it okay??? That setup is fine.
The only differences between Primary and Logical are boot-ability as you noted and how the drive letters get assigned. Windows assigns drive letters to all Primary partitions first and then goes back and assigns letters to any Logical partitions. So if you add in another HDD, be aware that the Logical partition's drive letter might change.
