Thick volumes are recommended if you are creating multiple volumes but need to guarantee the space for a particular volume. The performance of a thick volume may also be slightly better than a thin volume in some situations.
Thin volumes are recommended when you need to create multiple volumes and share the storage pool space efficiently between them. Also, thin volumes are recommended if you are planning to use volume snapshots. When using snapshots with thin volumes, only modifications to existing data on the volume will increase the snapshot used space, the size will be the same as the modified data.
