mirroring

How do you recover data/repair from a drive failure in Windows 10 Storage Spaces? I have 4X 4TB drives configured as RAID 1 (mirroring). I assumed that meant that a copy of the data was also stored on the other drives since only 8TB of the 16TB is available. I ID'd the failing drive and...

I have two identical 2TB SSDs. Disk 0 contains the OS and some data, and Disk 1 is all unallocated space. I want Disk 1 to be a mirror of Disk 0. When I right-click on Disk 0 and choose Add Mirror, it recognizes Disk 1 as the likely partner, warns me of the conversion to dynamic disks, and then...

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...

For those of you who have SSDs, limited space, or just want to keep your user data on another drive or partition, I wanted to share the results of some experimentation as a followup to my own question on this subject. I know that there is another method of relocating the User Profiles to...

So I have a 4 TB drive mirrored to an identical drive. My question is, if/when a drive fails, how will I be notified? Will something popup in the system tray? Or will I get some error message or what? I assume there is something that happens.. otherwise this software RAID would literally be...

Hello, I have been looking everywhere and have been unable to find any software which can perform this function. Basically (without going into too much detail) I have a mirror which is reflecting a monitor image, and the resulting image is mirrored. I need a way to flip the monitor screen...

Sorry, if this should be in the hardware forum... I am doing a fresh (bare metal) install. I am experiencing a weird problem with Win7 not remembering drive letter. I am hoping that someone has run across this problem and has the answer. I tried "Diskpart automount enable". It did not work...

I setup a redundancy using windows 7 for the time being until I can afford a decent RAID card. My question is whether or not I will have near double read speed by using it. I know that since only some software RAID has this ability, I bet I don't... but I have no idea how to tell. For...
