    Storage Spaces not re-balancing


    Hello. I’m using Microsoft Storage Space on Windows 11Vantec HX4R HDD enclosure1 x 4Tb HDD1 x 2Tb HDD2 x 1Tb HDDI have filled it up half way and it says there is no free space left. I see the 2 x 1Tb HDD’s are 99.9% full. The 4Tb is at about 20% and the 2Tb is at about 40%I select optimise. But it doesn’t do anything. I need it to rebalance the usage. I had it working fine before I accidentally deleted a drive and have to set up Storage Spaces again. Also I don’t have the “prepare drive for removal” option. Any ideas?

    :)

    Storage Space and Space Pooling in x32Win10ProV20H2

    Thank you very much for your reply.


    You don't show a screenshot, so I am uncertain to which part of the process of creating a storage space you are referring. I pointed you to the tutorials. I now provide you with a screenshot of part of one of them, which shows a warning which might be what you are referring to.

    Your question about double storage / redundancy appears to relate to the normal operation of storage spaces once configured, so seems obscure.

    My impression is that few here have used storage spaces.

    Hi Jay,

    If a category can't show the folders that it contains, there is a possibility that the folders are somehow hidden. To maximize your PC's storage, follow the suggested steps in these links:
