Big (Concatenation)
3.1.2.
When disks are concatenated, their capacities are combined
and data is written to the primary disk in the array until is it full,
and then to successive disks. Concatenation provides no perfor-
mance advantage or added measure of data safety. It is simply
a method of combining more than one physical disk into one
volume for greater overall capacity.
Concatenation allows full use of the capacity of all disks in the
array, but users interested in a higher level of protection should
use RAID1.
