Explanation:
Box 1, Storage controller: SCSI
Storage Spaces requirements include:
* Serial ATA (SATA) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected disks, optionally in a just-a-bunch-of-disks
(JBOD) enclosureNote: RAID adapters, if used, must have all RAID functionality disabled
Box 2, Storage volume type:
* Storage pools. A collection of physical disks that enable you to aggregate disks, expand capacity in a flexible
