  1. Storage Spaces - Add three extra drives Warning ?


    Hi

    I have a simple three disk parity RAID - calles Storage Space - W: drive.
    3 x 1.36Gb gives me about 2.72Gb storage plus the parity bits.

    This storage space has about 1.47Gb of data leaving some 1.24Gb free.

    Storage Space Static is telling me my disks are 88% full and to add three extra drives

    See screendump. What am I missing or not understanding here ?

    PLEASE HELP ME HOW TO ADD THIS EXTRA MEMORYTO MY LAPTOP ACER ?

    Are you getting a low memory warning in Windows, if so you need to clear space on your hard drive. Windows mistakenly calls hard drive space memory . . .

    If indeed you do want to add extra memory (RAM), please post the exact model of your Acer laptop

  3. Windows 10 Storage Spaces Improvements?

    I cannot find any articles on Windows 10 Storage Spaces and if there are any improvements over the Windows 8.1 Storage Spaces. Specifically, I am interested in knowing if the 70% threshold still triggers low capacity warnings. Over the past year, I have
    built up my Windows 8.1 Storage Spaces pool to about 50TB (14 USB drives), which means that at 35TB used, I get warnings to add more drives. The 70% capacity warning made more sense when I had only 2 or 3 drives in my pool, but as the data pool grows in size,
    it just seems to be a waste. How can I be at a reduced capacity in the pool when I still have 15TB of space free? When I add a new 5TB drive, I only get about 3.15TB of data storage (4.5TB formatted X 70% usable) which goes down to about 2TB of data in my
    parity pool. I really like Storage Spaces, but the overhead is a lot to take. Having said that, Storage Spaces is still the best solution I have found for my needs. I would just like to see some improvements in the next version. Any links on Windows 10 Storage
    Spaces improvements would be most welcome. Thanks.
