    Hard Drive Storage Pool (Windows 10)


    Hi
    I have a storage pool set up on my Windows 10 PC


    The storage pool is a total of 6.5TB at the moment with 2.7TB of Data on it


    I'm getting the Warning "Low Capacity" add another drive


    When looking into it, when I set the drives up I set them to "Parity" which is obviously increasing my usage on the drives.


    How do I change the Resiliency Type to None.


    I'm fine with this as I monitor the drive's for any failure issues on a regular basis

    :)

    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.

    Hello,

    I want to know how to back up a storage pool, if possible on an external hard drive or a network drive? I have a 1 TB external hard drive, but a 5 TB storage pool. So as you might have guessed, I'm very new at this concept. Can anyone tell me how to back
    a pool up in case it gets corrupted?

    Sincerely,

    Jay Burch
