What scares me is I have removed a disk and realized windows doesnt give any warning not even a notification that one of the disks is lost. This is dangerous.

Thanks a lot @leadeater and @Electronics Wizardy Unfortunately I still havent migrated to the storage space. I have seen your guide and experimenting. @Electronics Wizardy With 4x16tb disks if i set the column size to 4 and 256kb and ntfs is formatted as 1mb i get 20mb write speeds with 75% capacity With same 4 drive but column set to 3 256kb and ntfs is formatted as 512kb i get 80 sometimes sometimes 300 but i only have 66% of capacity So I had bought another 16tb drive My drives cost more than my desktop and laptop right now... new-virtualdisk -storagepoolfriendlyname "Depolama havuzu" -FriendlyName parity -UseMaximumSize -ResiliencySettingName parity -Numberofcolumns 5 -Interleave 256kb With this settings i am getting 80% space and good speeds. NTFS is formatted as 1MB Commands for copy pasting if you know what you doing! This is not a guide! To see the storage pool get-storagepool To see the virtualdisk that are created from the storage pool get-virtualdisk Delete the virtualdisk storage pool will stay get-virtualdisk | remove-virtualdisk Make 3 disk storage pool.* NTFS shlould be formatted as 512kb* new-virtualdisk -storagepoolfriendlyname "Depolama havuzu" -FriendlyName parity -UseMaximumSize -ResiliencySettingName parity -Numberofcolumns 3 -Interleave 256kb Make 5 disk storage pool.* NTFS shlould be formatted as 1MB* new-virtualdisk -storagepoolfriendlyname "Depolama havuzu" -FriendlyName parity -UseMaximumSize -ResiliencySettingName parity -Numberofcolumns 5 -Interleave 256kb *Depolama havuzu should be name of your storage if english it is "Storage pool"

So if i set it to 4 capacity will not change but will it be faster ? or slower? and if i lose a drive with different column numbers wahat would change? Another thing is the optimization button on storage spaces what does it do? with only same sized drives 4x16 do you have ther recommendation?

What is ideal for 4 drives? if i set it at 4 will it write to 3 drives and use 1 for parity? will i gain space. What will happen if i add drives later on can i change it ? I have already formatted the drive with 1mb size which was the highest. edit:I thought with windows storage spaces this would be easy but deeper i go i am more confused. Some people have had issues . i have looked at a lot of guides and it just complicated. do you have anything else that i can run on my windows pc that will get me good speeds and a single drive parity Edit2:Just noticed @Electronics Wizardyyour username here is the same as a youtube channel i have come to while searching for these is it yours? Thanks for everything

@leadeater @Electronics Wizardy I thought it will use one drive for parity and rest would be data If i increase the disk number the performance will not improve as i understand it? Can i change the column number? I have seen ltt stuff that loses 1 drive to parity if i recall correctly from bunch of drives. this home storage thing does not turn out as i expected. I have reformatted with 1mb size crystaldiskmark result attached. file copy test result attached. Is it possible to create 2 raid 0 from 4 drives for twice the performance with raid 1 each other so i have resiliency? speed is in between 350 and 80mb on big video files. cpu usage is low but can it be cpu?

Well 14,5*3 is 43TB how can i lose that much is crazy for me How about the performance it drops to 20 bm right now which is terrbile

Hello again. I have purchased 4 of 16tb drives taken them from their external enclosure and put them in my pc had to but different cables too etc. Right now i am at the last step of building the pool. I had error of 0x0000000 and restarted pc and ther is no error. it is creating the pool now. But Storage spaces only have 38 TB space and with resiliency it will use all of the disks is that normal? ı am losing nearly 5TB more than 1 disk I have tried writing to it and i am getting 350mb write speed single drive writes at 200 i was expecting 600 is this normal? Is there a setting to change ? or is it my cpu 12400f but usage is very low Thanks

thanks for everything i will try

Thanks for all. How about drive failure if a drive goes bad what would i do

I have done VHDX of 40 50 60gb and created a storage space with 97GB usable area test location is on an usb ssd but the test file i am copying is copying at 5-20mb a second I have 32gb ram and cpu usage is only at 3 percent is it normal for this to be very slow? And even empty storage space have 7gb in it isnt it too much Thanks. Edit: I have tried it on my main ssd and it is faster uses up to 30 percent of cpu but it doesnt look like it is affected by that. 1.15gb write speed on the ssd is nice without the storage spaces it writes over 2 gb a second but on harddisks i guess the speed will match the disks and I wouldnt lose much. Thanks for helping me i understand this much better. Is the storage spaces screen normal it says it uses 7gb but it is empty While doing the actual disks what are the benefits or harm of using VDHX filen on the disks rather then using the disk as a whole I want your opinion on it? (4tb disk gets 4tb VDHX file rather than the whole disk)

Two way mirror is it like raid 1 ? Is it different than parity 4+5+6 tb disk in pool will it have 15tb total or only 12tb and also there is parity will it lose me 4tb or 6tb i really on novice. thanks.

single parity in windows storage spaces I have to transfer all files and then create the pool with empty disks right you said start with small disks and then add large ones for stripe column number I didnt understand it could you please explain or guide me somewhere i could read about this? Thanks

Hello, I have a windows pc with a lot of drives both internal and external. They are all shared with SMB and it works but it has no safety and it has become impossible to organize I have HDDs sized from 4TB to 10TB but I am willing to buy couple drives to make pool storage in windows. It has to be in windows because I only have my desktop which is a gaming pc. It would be excellent if I could set it with different capacity drives. I have looked but found it too complex. I want a big single disk with reduntancy as a beginner to this. Do you have any guidance or suggestions? Thanks. I am on Windows 10 pro 12400f 2x16 gb ddr4 4000mhz ram rtx 3090 1tb micron 2450 nvme ssd Windows drive 1tb wd sn730 nvme ssd 4tb sata + 5 tb sata + 6tb sata + 2x8tb usb + 10tb usb HDD Edit: bought 4 16tb drives for this

I know this is not for laptops but I have tried ram tweaking on my laptop before and it just doenst want to do it. msi ge75 10sf 10875h and crucial 2x16gb dual rank 3200mhz cl16 ram kit anything over 3200mhz even on 1.5v is not booting. XMP of 3200mhz cl16 is giving bsod I manually set it to cl18 1.35v and I am using like that for a year but I am still not satisfied What quick settings can i do you must have experience on intel platforms for me to try out I know laptops are not same but any help is appriciated I have access to sub timings but I do not know the best values to test for stability while gaining a okay amount of performance Photo is jedec vs cl18

Yes we have warranty laws that I have read and it only says about product no information about original purchaser so it should be fine on top of that I hate they straight out rejected it it was an issue about them I am still on a beta bios it is more about them not giving a crap about me and as I have said before first time this has happened warranty is accepted here as long as you bring invoice only problem is the refund of product that is being made to the invoice name except that it is valid I have done it so many times and there are many people done it to also other big companies like logitech corsair etc.
