    I've made a Raid 10 for my PC...or have I? Help!


    You could always consider an external eSATA RAID enclosure. That would take some strain away from your PSU once those video cards are there. I don't trust built-in software RAID. "Never let software do hardware's job" was a mantra I still follow today.

    I've figured out what step isn't working though. I'll try to explain it.

    So right now I have 4 unallocated Drives, as I should: https://i.imgur.com/hwd0ujA.png

    Now, if I try to setup the first mirror, everything works fine. The pool is created, two of the unallocated drives disappear, and a new one materialises, just how I would expect it to work. Like so: 2018-03-20 15-14-30 GIF | Create, Discover and Share on Gfycat

    So next, would be to repeat this step. However Storage Spaces now has a different layout. Rather than be presented with my unformatted drives, I get this entirely different looking page. There's still a create pool button, but it's in a different place. Add drives just add drives to the already existing pool. The only option I think it could be is create pool. But watch, I never get asked to choose any drives: 2018-03-20 15-18-52 GIF | Create, Discover and Share on Gfycat

    Being the first time I had done this I didn't notice the difference. You can see though, those 2 remaining drives stay unallocated, and a new Stripe appears. This made me think perhaps it was just recreating a storage pool from the first two drives, but if I move a few gigs of files onto Stripe1, the free space remaining goes does for Stripe1, but not for Stripe2!

    So I have no idea. What I did next was then use Disk Management to stripe across the two, and that's where my two raids come from. No idea again why there is two raids created. But putting files on the Raid also doesn't seem to take up any space on either of the Stripes. It's like I have two raids10s, two raid0's, and two unallocated drives! Madness.

    I was curious so did a Search for RAID 10, looks complicated and not made any easier being called RAID 1+0.
