  1. Windows Storage Space drive not letting me copy large files to it


    I have a 10TB Windows Storage Space, which is two 10TB WD drives merged into one to act as a redundant 10TB drive. I work in video, so I am often moving very large files to this drive. It has worked flawlessly for months, in every way. All of the sudden, I can no longer copy large files to it. It keeps coming up with a "There is not enough space on F:" error. The file I am copying is 79GB, and the drive in question has 881GB of free space. The source drive also has 861GB of free space, so it shouldn't be an issue of not enough "temporary" space on the source drive, either.I'm not sure w

  3. Windows 10 Storage Spaces

    Question;

    Have a RAID 0 storage pool in Windows 10. The storage pool has 952 GB of usable space, it currently has 6.06 GB of space used. I ran a system clean-up which wrote data to securely erase empty hard drive space. Now I get a warning that my storage pool is
    full. I wrote a large group of files approximately 41 GB to the space to verify there wasn't an actual limitation. After all the files copied without issue I deleted them and noticed that the pool went from no capacity to 911 GB in use, the amount that was
    written and then deleted.

    I have searched but not come across this issue in any internet searches. Perhaps I am not searching for the correct terminology?

    Any suggestions for correcting the storage spaces error without affecting the data on the pool? The reason of concern is that the drive has a SoildWorks vault space and I would prefer not to delete it and have to recreate it.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

    Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
    it with another drive if the process is different?
