Dell Storage with Microsoft Storage Spaces Best Practices Guide
Storage pools
When setting up pools, for multiple enclosure configurations, ensure that the physical disks are spread evenly across all the enclosures by using multiple pools, rather than assigning a pool to one enclosure.
For example, if you have two DSMS 1420 enclosures, each with 20 HDDs and four SSDs, 40 HDDs and eight SSDs are available for configuring in the pool. In this example, you require a minimum of two pools. Pool 1 contains two SSDs and 10 HDDs from the first DSMS 1420, and two SSDs and 10 HDDs from the second DSMS 1420. Pool 2 contains the remaining disks.
