About this tag
Discussions about adding disks to Windows Storage Spaces, particularly in Windows 8, focus on how pool type affects future expansion. Users report that choosing the Simple or Resiliency pool type allows adding hard drives without space limitations, while Parity types impose disk column constraints that can restrict adding disks. The tag covers practical considerations for expanding storage pools, including avoiding column limits and ensuring flexibility when adding new drives to existing Storage Spaces configurations.

Windows 8 Windows 8 "Storage Space" Adding Hard drives without space problems
For The Windows 8 "Storage Space" Pools, am I correct that choosing the "Simple/Resiliency" type of Pool will allow me to add more disks in the future when I buy them without any issues. I know that if you choose any of the "parity" types to create the Pool, you run the risk of having problems...- John Palston
