To create a Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP), the minimum number of drives required is 12. This minimum requirement ensures that there is enough capacity and redundancy to maintain the performance and data protection characteristics that DDPs provide.
Dynamic Disk Pools are designed to optimize data distribution and rebuild times. By using 12 drives as a baseline, the system can efficiently distribute data and parity information across the drives, improving fault tolerance and rebuild performance compared to traditional RAID configurations.
