What is the Primordial Pool in Windows 2012

When working with Storage Spaces in Windows Server 2012, you may notice a Storage Space that you did not create called Primordial.

This is simply a holding pool for all unallocated disks that are connected to the server that you are currently managing. If you create a storage pool, you will be able to grab the disks from this pool to use in the new storage pool.
