    Windows Storage Space shows a lot less room on my space than I am using!


    I had a 8 drive pool, each drive was 6 TB. I have two 6 drive enclosures and since I cannot change the cluster size I could not expand my pool to 12 drives. So I moved data and now I have two 6 drive pools goal is that if an enclosure fails I can just switch my most important 6 drive pool to my other enclosure. Now my Z drive shows almost full and it shouldn't be, as follows ...Reading from the top down in Manage Storage Spaces ...Storage Pool----------------Using 30.2 TB of 32.7 TB pool capacity ... on the right side : Low capacity; add drivesStorage Spaces -------------Z New Z:Two

    Show storage space in This PC


    I can't get This PC to show the storage space bars for my drives and I've done all that's been suggested in this thread.
    Any ideas why I might not be able to make the storage space bars show?

    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
