Windows 10: Can I disconnect an internal hard drive from a two-way mirror storage pool in Storage...

I have set up a pool of two identical HD's and copied all my files to it. This means my data should be written to both physical hard drivesright?. I'd like to remove my first HD from the pool and connect it to a different pc, confirm my data is present, then unplug it and plug the other in to confirm my data is present on both. Then return them both to their home and have them resume operating properly in the two-way mirror storage pool that I already set up.

Will doing this cause any harm?

Dual Booting with a Mirrored Storage Pool


I'm planning my new PC build and it will be a dual boot configuration with 2 SSDs as my OS drives. One will have Windows 10, and the other will have Windows 7. I also plan to use three 2TB hard drives for bulk storage. I want to pool the hard drives in Storage Spaces using Windows 10. The drives will be set up in a mirrored configuration. Can Windows 7 detect the mirrored drive pool? Thank you.

 

Not happy with Storage Pools.

New computer and upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. I created a storage pool using 2 extra hard drives. It worked fine but I was unaware that by creating this pool I would lose the independent use of my files on Drive C. My normal Library files are
now mirrored with the 2 extra drives I used to create the storage pool. I thought my C Drive (Library-Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, and Downloads) would stay separate from the storage pool and I could just copy files to my Storage Pool and delete them
from my C: Drive if I wanted to.

I hope I'm explaining myself sufficiently. In other words, I thought creating a Storage Pool made 2 extra hard drives into one and you could copy files from the C: Drive when you wanted. Also, be able to delete files from the C: Drive in order to not fill
it up so much. My C: Drive is a 512 GB SS drive. My 2 extra hard drives are 3TB each standard 7200 RPM SATA hard drives.

If this is how this works, I think I would rather have my drives back the way they were. Is there a way to reverse the Storage Pool?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I already read the Storages & spaces FAQ
before I posted this query. Maybe I still don't understand how this Storage Pool works. I do understand what you are saying about
C: Drive. But Crive also holds the "Library" files. These are the files I wish to delete on
Crive to free up space because they are now on the Storage Pool drives. The 2 extra Storage Pool drives are internal HD's in my tower. If this is the way the Storage Pool works, then I'd rather not have the Storage Pool and I'll just backup
my Library Files (pictures, videos, music, documents) on my internal HDs. Is there a way to reverse the Storage Pool I just created?

Thanks.
