About this tag
The tag 'disk columns' appears in discussions about Windows 8 Storage Spaces, specifically regarding how the number of disk columns affects the ability to add hard drives to a storage pool. Users note that choosing a parity resiliency type limits the number of disk columns, which can restrict future expansion.
