    Creating a RAID-5 using Storage Spaces in Windows 11


    Hi, first time posting here. I tried to search but I couldn't find and I don't know if this is something very specific or not.I want to try the new Storage Spaces in Windows 11. Some years ago I bought an external enclosure with 5-bay for hard drives and also provide RAID 5 functionality out-of-the-box. It works pretty good and no issue. This time I want to mount another RAID 5 but using the built-in Storage Spaces available in Windows 11.My previous RAID5 was using 5 HDD with 8 TB each, so the total available was 32 TB 29.1 in reality.My new RAID5 will be with 6 HDD with 8 TB each, that's s

    Confused About Raid 5

    Using the Raid Calculator, with 5 drives at 4tb each, I should be getting 16TB of storage, however when I create the raid in windows, it's creating a storage pool of 18.1tb and a maximum storage space of 12.1tb. Make it make sense. Creating a RAID-5 using Storage Spaces in Windows 11 :(

    Storage Spaces - trying to create a Raid 0 with Powershell

    Hi NikitaRomeo,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand how difficult it can be when you are trying to create volume with Storage Spaces on
    Raid 0 with PowerShell. However, we would like you to check with our TechNet forum team to make the necessary changes on the
    Raid issue. I would suggest you to post your query in
    TechNet     forums, where we have the engineers with the expertise to provide solutions for issues related RAID and can provide relevant solution to your query.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    Creating a RAID-5 using Storage Spaces in Windows 11

    Storage Space on RAID not available

    Windows 10 pro, just installed. Version 20H2. (Updates not yet started.)
    Two RAID 1 arrays created in BIOS
    MB: X570 AORUS Ultra, BIOS date Dec. 2019

    I just installed Win10 Pro on the first RAID 1 (two M.2 drives). Windows cannot see the larger RAID 1 (SATA) I'd planned to use for data. Storage Spaces can see it and let me create a storage space on it, and it looks good there.

    PROBLEM: Windows cannot see this array/storage space. Neither does it show in Disk Management.

    Any ideas? Thanks!
