Both PCs are running Windws 10 Pro and both are updated to version 22H2. Do I need to use Windows Storagw Spaces to select 'prepare drive for removal' on all 3 drives and then turn off the old PC with the pool before detaching the 3 drives?After attaching all 3 drives in the new PC what do I need to do/avoid to ensure the Windows Storage Space still functions as it did in the old PC, with all data still intact?.

How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
it with another drive if the process is different?

 

Storage pool

Hello,

Storage Spaces is a technology in Windows and Windows Server that can help protect your data from drive failures. It is conceptually similar to RAID, implemented in software. You can use Storage Spaces to group three or more drives together into a storage pool
and then use capacity from that pool to create Storage Spaces. These typically store extra copies of your data so if one of your drives fails, you still have an intact copy of your data. If you run low on capacity, just add more drives to the storage pool.

In setting up a storage space, it's recommended that you use a hard drive that doesn't contain important files as the drive will be formatted to mirror the host drive.

For more information regarding Storage Spaces, read this
FAQ page.

Hope the information I provided helps.

 

Storage Spaces Dual Parity Pool says that it needs to formatted

Today, I went to access my storage pool and it told me that I need to format it. It was working perfectly fine a few days ago. If you run chkdsk in Command Prompt, it shows that it is NTFS, if you look in Storage Spaces settings it shows that it is all online and healthy with no disk trouble, but if you look at Disk Management, it shows that it is RAW. According to Storage Spaces, I have almost 80TB of data with almost 100TB capacity. It would really suck if I had to format this pool. And I don't understand how this happened. I have a Synology Backup with about 40TB of data, but I'd like to not lose any of the data in this pool. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
