    Creating New Storage Spaces


    Hi all,So I am trying to create a new storage space, as my internal disk space is low. I was intending on using an external drive but wasn't too sure what was needed. When I looked on the support section for this option, it said even a USB drive should work but, for some reason when I try to do it with an SSD, the drive doesn't register on tool. It comes up with the message, "No drives that work with Storage Spaces are available. Make sure that the drives that you want to use are connected" .Anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to get this fixed?Thank you

    :)

    Create New Pool does not work on Storage Spaces

    No matter what I try, the app "Storage Spaces" cannot create a new pool. I tried reconnecting and disconnecting my USB drives and nothing worked. Do you have any suggestions on how to RAID USB drives together as one? Thanks in advanced.

    Creating storage spaces using 2 drives

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to create storage spaces on your workstation using two drivers.



    I would suggest you to refer the section Should I create a simple, mirror, or parity space? in the article

    Storage Spaces in Windows 10    . Also, for more information you can refer the article

    Virtualizing storage for scale, resiliency, and efficiency    .



    However, as the query is related to creating storage spaces on workstation, I would suggest you to post your query on

    TechNet forums    , where they provide dedicated support and information on creating storage spaces on the PC.



    Regards,
