    Moving away from Storage Spaces


    I would like to migrate my disk array out of the storage space and into a better and easy to manage disk array. Planning on removing one drive at a time in SS and continue to use the actual hdds I have.

    Looking for advice on which raid or whatever I should use. I'm wanting to maximize space availability, I'll eventually create a mirrored backup when I have the drives. Will I run into any complications doing this and adding additional drives together in windows? What's best?

    For interest:

    Move Storage Spaces from Windows 10 Pro to Windows Server 2016 Essentials

    But I note:

    What Windows build/edition are you using on your old PC, and what on your new?

    Moving Unallocated Disk Space to End of Disk

    Was commenting on the pic in post #21. Not suggesting anything. It just looked like the step you were doing was incomplete.

Now I know this was a bad idea since it de-synchs more often than it should even if the disks ran 24/7 since the early '80s. Is there an easier way than...
