Windows 10: Unformat Storage Space

I have accidentaly formatted my RAID-5 Microsoft Storage Space. The RAID-5 is based on 3 USB 3.0 disk with 4Tb capacity each.

Is it possible to recover my file using any specific tool? I have tried some commercial tools with no luck. The setup is unique, I wonder if anyone have any suggestions.

Will any formatted drive work in Storage Spaces? I read in a post that the drives had to be unformatted.

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.

Note too the warning in

Post update storage space problem

Unfortunately as the storage space is seen as an unformatted drive after the update it is not possible to change the drive letter.

I could reapply the update after changing the drive letter but hold out little hope of getting a different result.
