Windows 10: A simple question on 2TB storage settings

So here's a little question I have regarding my storage and having 2 TB on my laptop. So, as you can see, according to my storage settings, it says I have a lot of room left over for more stuff on my computer with 1.63 TB. But I'm confused about why the category bar for Pictures is the most full. At first I thought that it meant that that's because the pictures are what's taking up the most of it as seen through the 120 GB out of 232 GB thing.But now I'm worried that it means I'm almost out of room for how many more pictures I can save. I REALLY hope that's not the case since for the longest t

64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.

 

Storage Spaces - removal of disk in Simple array

I have a simple array set up in Storage Spaces that consists of 5 hard drives: four are 3TB and one is 2TB. I want to replace that 2TB with a larger drive, but it has 40.1 % of the disk being used (according to the Storage Spaces manager). I clicked "Remove" in the Storage Spaces Management screen, but the drive says "Preparing for removal". I tried optimizing the Storage Spaces to see if it would move the data to other drives, but it has not. Keep in mind I have 12.7TB total with only 6.54TB being used. I have plenty of space for this drive's data to be reallocated to other drives.

Is this possible? Or does having a Simple Array just pretty much make it impossible to replace disks?

 

STRANGE ISSUE - 2TB HardDrive Storage is linked to 500GB Drive Storage

Whilst duplicating threads would normally be frowned upon, I think it is both appropriate & worthwhile in this case.
Attract the attention of suitably skilled TenForums members by calling your new thread

with the problem description being, in essence, a compilation of your earlier posts here.
{Most people see threads by looking through lists of their titles so the suggested new title would be noticed by forum members with Apple skills.}

Add to your new thread's description a link back to this thread so people can check both threads if they want to.

Including this is also a neat way of saying, "I had a very good reason for duplicating the thread.", without sounding uncooperative.

If you do this then please post a link to your new thread here so I can follow it.

Best of luck,
