It combines capacity without any fancy striping. It can still provide some performance benefit as different blocks of the same file can be stored on different drives, but it doesn't stripe data across the drives for performance. It also allows you to just add more drives later. The drives don't need to be the same size or type. You can also remove drives, provided there is enough free space to move the data on a drive to the ones that will remain. It really just pools the storage capacity into one big volume. If a drive fails, it still takes the whole volume with it tho. But as long as you monitor smart, it is fairly simple to try ejecting a failing drive from the device group before it takes the whole thing with it.
