    Storage Spaces in W10 Pro - does anyone really use it?


    Quick question -

    Even though it is not new, Storage Spaces seems to be a Software RAID.

    Does anyone actually really use it?
    How much is the performance hit?

    TIA *Think

    :)

  2. Storage Space

    Surface Pro 3 storage space is low. Storage settings say that Apps and Games is using 17.5 GB but when I add up the space from the list of apps it is only 5.7 GB. What is taking up up the other ~12 GB and how do I free up space?

    Storage Spaces and Reinstalling Windows 10 Pro

    I am planning on upgrading the hardware on my home media server (Plex). It runs on Windows 10 Pro (1809). My Storage Spaces disks are connected to my system via a dedicated RAID card, with the disks just configured as JBOD. It is a 16 disk pool comprising
    36TB of raw storage, configured within Storage Spaces to have parity, so I have about 21TB of usable space. I would like to know what steps I need to take in order to ensure that, once I have upgraded the hardware and reinstalled Windows 10 Pro to my OS disk,
    I can reconnect the RAID controller and have the Storage Spaces be recognized and accessible again. I cannot risk losing this data, and given the amount of it, making a copy beforehand is also not a possibility.

    W10 with "Storage Spaces" and external HD

    After the latest update, when I plug in an external HD it gets renamed to something like "Test to check for updating to W10"and I get a report of storage problems. The HD has my system backups on it but they are not available, there is a random selection
    of my files showing in explorer.

    Google shows others have similar problems. The common factors seem to be: W10 creators, Storage Spaces and an external HD.
