Windows 10: Storage Drive Question

Hi All

Thinking of upgrading the storage drive in my main PC probably either at Christmas or Birthday in February, Might invest in a higher quality power supply first, then upgraded storage drive, and then think all set

Might Choose at the moment a Seagate 2tb drive, I figure that would work fine with my Western Digital 250gb SSD, or I can choose a Western Digital Storage drive as well, possibly Western Digital black 2tb if not too expensive lol

Might reconfigure my older system as spare Windows 10 System in the future

Overall very happy with my newer system, nice and fast and running great at the moment

Increasing Available RAM for Windows 7

You're asking two different questions. RAM is the memory, hard drive is the storage. Is Zune complaining about not enough storage space to create a backup?

 

Does Windows 10 Storage Spaces NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) Drives?

Hi Robert. The reason you cannot configure Storage Spaces is because your C:\ is a boot volume. In order to configure a Storage Space you will need an entire additional drive. If you would like to use the resiliency features of Storage Spaces you need to
attach a minimum of 2 drives. In terms of drive interface support, they are all supported and Storage Spaces can use any drives that are accessible to Windows 10. Please note that drives will need to be free of data. I hope this answers your question.

 

Sounds like a plan. *Smile Did you have a question or just looking for opinions?

 

Well Question is If it's Possible to Clone my current storage drive onto the newer 2TB one? I know i'll need a 3.5 inch enclosure to usb 3.1 or 3.0 to do that as no more room inside to put anymore drives

Or is it better if I do a clean install when I get the newer storage drive?

 

When changing over storage drives you can just copy from one drive to another - no cloning required.

There is no need to do any kind of re-install when replacing a storage drive.

 

Ohh excellent perfect, now just to get enclosure that works well to place storage drive temporarily the newer one, to do the file transfer, and perfect.

I do have enclosure now, but it disconnects a lot for some reason, probably cause I got a darn cheap one that doesnt' work so well lol

 

Personally I think if your going from an HD to an SSD, it might be best to copy rather than clone because of different media types.

 

SSD is my boot drive, storage drive is all might replace in future to a larger one possibly, from 1tb to 2tb thinking
