Windows 10: Windows 11 pro for workstions storage space/pool got error, DriveLetter only with raw format

Hi, everyone. I have encountered some issues with the storage space.I am in desperate need of your assistance, and your suggestions are crucial to me. This storage space contains nearly 20 years of data, and unfortunately, I don't have any other backups.I created on the Windows 11 Pro for Workstation Edition.23585 NowMy storage space is configured in a parity mode and consists of six hard drives: three WDC HDDs for storage HDD-Tier, two 512GB NVMe drives for caching and tiered storage SSD-Tier, and one 128GB NVMe drive used as a journal.$ Get-PhysicalDisk ft FriendlyName,DeviceId,BusTy

Storage Spaces Dual Parity Pool says that it needs to formatted

Today, I went to access my storage pool and it told me that I need to format it. It was working perfectly fine a few days ago. If you run chkdsk in Command Prompt, it shows that it is NTFS, if you look in Storage Spaces settings it shows that it is all online and healthy with no disk trouble, but if you look at Disk Management, it shows that it is RAW. According to Storage Spaces, I have almost 80TB of data with almost 100TB capacity. It would really suck if I had to format this pool. And I don't understand how this happened. I have a Synology Backup with about 40TB of data, but I'd like to not lose any of the data in this pool. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

 

Windows 11 Storage Space Opens as Empty

I have windows 11 Pro and have had a Storage Space for awhile now with minimal issues. Now when I try to open the drive that the storage space is set as, it says "This Folder is Empty"

On the Storage Spaces hub in Control Panel I am able to see the existing Storage Space/Pool and all drives are reporting as healthy. I am currently using 5.45/9.09TB

If I look on "This PC" I am able to see the Storage Space as being about 2/3rds full.

Troubleshooting:

- I have tried scanning for errors on this drive using Error Checking. "No errors were found"

-Tried optimizing volume via Powershell "Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter S -Verbose"

How do i regain access to my drive?

 

Windows 11 does not recognize storage space/pool anymore, Windows thinks that they are raw

Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Make sure that all SATA cables and power connections to your storage devices are secure.

2. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your storage devices. You can download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

3. Windows 11 has a built-in troubleshooter that can help you fix problems with Storage Spaces. To run the troubleshooter, open the Settings app, go to **System > Storage > Troubleshoot**, and select **Storage Spaces**.

4. Reset the Storage Spaces service: open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following command:

5. If you are unable to fix the issue, you can create a new storage pool. To do this, open the Storage Spaces app, and click **Create a new pool**.

I hope this helps!
